Chapter 131: The Black Forest of Ghost Dolls

Realizing that something was wrong, Rog got up from the ground and called out to Lilith, but the little owl did not respond, while Catherine, Tali, and Murphy were awakened by his shouts and opened their sleepy eyes.

"What's wrong?" asked Murphy, standing up and squinting his eyes.

"Lilith and Grace are gone. Rogge said suspiciously.

The three of them suddenly woke up when they heard his words, the two girls got up from the ground and looked around at a loss, Murphy walked up to Rogge and asked, "Could it be that Philip the dragon hunter took them away?"

Rogge shook his head decisively and said: "Impossible, Lilith's reconnaissance ability at night is unmatched, as an owl, she has an extremely keen sense of hearing, smell and night vision, and also has superb camouflage ability, even elves are difficult to detect and escape her surveillance, not to mention that Philip is just a human!"

He looked around looking down for something, and said as he watched, "And, if it was really him, he would have already killed us all, how could he have captured only Grace and Lilith?"

"Could it be Grace ......" a bold thought popped into Catherine's mind, and Tully and Murphy looked at her in unison, with a hint of uneasy doubt in their eyes.

Rogmer silently lowered his head and walked away a few steps, stopped by a large tree, opened the grass and found a bunch of nut shells, he reached out and picked one up, and found that it was the shell of an acorn, he pinched the inner and outer sides of the shell with his hand, brought it to his nose and sniffed it.

"The shell is fresh, not dry, and there is a strong aroma inside, indicating that it has just been peeled. Rogge thought to himself as he stood up, and glanced back at the tree behind him that was facing him, under which he had slept the previous night, and Lilith stood guard in the treetops above him.

"I see. Rogge nodded slightly, continued to move forward, and soon found two large footprints that were unusual for ordinary people, he stepped forward to compare his feet, and found that the footprints were half larger than him, and there were no shoes on, and clear toe marks could be seen.

Just as he was observing the footprints, Catherine and the others followed from behind, and the three of them were shocked when they saw this huge footprint, Murphy looked at the footprints and asked in surprise: "This looks as big as a bear's foot, who would leave such a big footprint?"

"The soles of bears' feet are not that long. Rogge gestured with his hand to the length of the soles of his feet.

"Could it be a wildling?" Catherine looked around a little nervously and whispered, "I heard that there are Sasquatis in the forest, could it be ......?"

"If it's really that kind of barbarian, do you think it's going to do things like a thief on tiptoe?" Roger shook his head slightly, "Its loud voice has already woken us up. ”

"And what the hell is this?" asked Tali, looking down at the footprints.

Rog beckoned to her, motioning for her to come to her, Tali gave him a curious look, and walked around the footprints to Rogge's side, Rogge told her to step her feet in the footprints, and Hòu grabbed her staff with her hand and inserted the tip of the staff into a small hole in the side of the footprints.

"How's that, isn't it perfect?" said Roger with his hands stretched out to the three of them, "If Miss Mermaid's feet are a little bigger, we can treat you as a suspect!"

"You're still kidding!" Tali frowned and said, "We need to find them quickly!"

"Come with me, I know where they are and who took them. Rog turned and strode deeper into the jungle, and Catherine, Tully, and Murphy looked at each other and followed in disbelief.

Rogge led them around the jungle, the big forest was like a huge labyrinth, making people dizzy and not knowing where to go, even Murphy, who often wandered in the wild, gradually lost his sense of direction, and Catherine and Tali were completely lost in their path, so they could only follow Rogge blindly.

I don't know how long it took, Rog stopped, and the forest in front of them was completely different from the one they were in before, and the shadows here were so dark that the hearts of those who saw it were covered with a layer of dark terror, as if there was some kind of terrible whisper coming from the forest, which made people feel creepy.

"Come with me, we're almost there!" Rogge nodded back to the three of them and strode into the Black Forest, the three of them looked at each other uneasily, Tali and Catherine cautiously followed Rog into Qù, and Murphy walked alone at the end.

The deeper they went, the darker they became, as if the bright morning sun could not penetrate the dense canopy, and a cold smell lingered around them, and ominous whispers came from the hollows of the old trees, haunting their ears like ghosts.

Suddenly, Catherine felt that something seemed to be staring at her in the treetops, she slowly turned her head and saw a blue-green face looking down from the branches, two hollow eyes looked strange in the darkness, the girl screamed, and subconsciously pulled out the silver gun and pulled the trigger.

As the gunshots rang out, a large flock of crows flew up from the bushes, and Catherine watched with trepidation at what had fallen to the ground, while Tali put her arms around her shoulders and looked at the thing with the same look of astonishment, seeing Rogge striding forward and picking it up.

"I told you in Grey Harbor, don't scare yourself, this thing should have been played with by little girls, right?" Rogge threw it at Catherine, and the girl took a step back in horror, watching the thing fall at her feet, and found that it was a rag doll covered with green moss.

"Maybe you should look elsewhere. Rogge opened his arms and pointed around, and the three of them looked up in the direction he was pointing, and were surprised to find that the branches around them were full of all kinds of dolls, most of which had been covered with green moss, and some even grew mushrooms, which looked very strange.

"What the hell is this place, and why are there so many dolls?" asked Catherine, uneasy.

Legend has it that a little girl once died here, and her body was piled up with dolls, and then more and more dolls appeared in this forest, and it became like this. Rogge said as he looked up at the branches of the scary dolls.

"Sounds terrible, Lilith and the others are here?" said Catherine, looking at Rogge in fear.

Before Rogge could reply, a tree vine suddenly swept from behind, and Rog heard the wind in the back of his head, and a backflip jumped over the tree vine, and a large number of tree vines then besieged from all directions.

Catherine, Murphy, and Tully raised their arms to meet them, but suddenly a large number of roots suddenly emerged from the ground beneath their feet, coiling up around the three of them, and finally enveloping the three of them in a thick layer of roots.

"Oh, damn it!" Rogge scolded when he saw this, and instead of saving people, he rushed into the depths of the jungle.

As he galloped through the thick layers of fallen leaves and weeds in the woods, and dodged the flying rattans around him, he suddenly rose from the ground, leaped over several swept vines, and rolled forward, brushing under the swept vines.

When he finally broke through the siege of the vines and approached the edge of the Black Forest, a bright light loomed between the shadows of the trees in front of him, and Rog rushed in the direction of the light, and a huge hand fell from the sky and slapped down on him.

Rogge jumped up in a flash, and threw himself towards the other big hand that fell in the air, grabbed the wrist of that hand in mid-air and swung forward, instantly swinging a few meters away, he landed firmly on the ground, looked back at the big tree that had not yet turned around, and continued to sprint forward.

The Treant who hadn't caught Rog turned around and let out a loud roar, and the two Treants rose from the ground on the left and right, stretching out their large, rough and stiff hands to grab Rog together.

Rog stopped and leaned back, sliding past the two treemen's big hands with the inertia of the forward rush, and then Hòu leaped up from the fallen leaves on the ground, shook off the two heavy treemen and rushed to the edge of the forest.

He stopped in front of the dazzling light and shouted at the light, "Okay, it's time to finish, you don't need to do it every time, right?"

Hearing his words, the tree-man chasing behind him stopped his heavy footsteps and retreated back to his original position to become a big tree, and an old voice echoed in the forest around him: "I told you that you are not allowed to bring strangers into this place, have you forgotten?"

"You broke the law first, and it's not my fault!" Rogge said, shrugging his shoulders.

"Am I in violation?" the other party asked curiously, "How do you say this?"

"You brought Grace in, didn't you, and that little greedy bird who left his post without permission is with you now!" said Rogge, looking unhurriedly at the light at the edge of the forest.

"I don't know what you're talking about. The other party casually denied it.

"Of course you know that there are not many people in this forest who can keep Lilith from raising any alarm without waking me up, and the acorn shells near our resting place and the big footprints you left behind speak for themselves, and you will never tell me that the footprints were left by Lilith's teacher, Lady Louise, right?"

The other party was silent for a moment after hearing this, and said softly "um", and then said seriously: "That's right, it's her!"

Rogge shook his head with a smile, spread his hands and stepped forward, "Oh, come on, don't you play tricks in front of so many juniors, okay?"

Hearing Rogge's words, the other party was silent for a moment, and suddenly let out a series of hearty laughter, and a tall figure appeared in the light at the edge of the forest, opening his arms to Rogge and laughing loudly: "It seems that you have not regressed as I think, hahahaha, welcome home, my child!"
