Chapter Seventy-One: Weird
"Okay, then let's change our plan, and all the farmers will go into the forest with us!" Yang Fan waved his hand and led everyone into the forest.
This time I entered the Whispering Forest and felt completely different from the last time, although the sunlight was blocked by the trees and the forest seemed a little dark, but I could clearly see the surrounding environment. This time, due to the weather, the maximum distance that the eye can see clearly is only about ten meters.
And for some reason, there is a strange aura in the forest now, which makes everyone subconsciously raise their vigilance.
"Master, the situation here is a little abnormal!" Ed, who was guarding Yang Fan's side, said in a deep voice.
Yang Fan rolled his eyes, glanced at him fiercely, and said, "You don't need to say it, everyone can see it." ”
Ed was stunned, raised his eyes and glanced at the others, and saw that everyone was frowning slightly, looking cautious, especially the archers and soldiers, almost all of them were holding the weapons in their hands tightly, looking ready to attack.
Finding that he seemed to be the last person to reflect, Ed blushed slightly and said, "That, I'm mainly reminding the master!"
"Okay, okay, be careful, don't be careless. Yang Fan waved his hand.
As the team continued to deepen, the weird feeling became heavier and heavier, and Yang Fan finally figured out why there was such a solemn feeling.
The reason is that since they entered the forest, they have not heard the slightest sound except for the sound made by the procession as they walk, whether it is a demonic beast or an insect, the whole world seems to have fallen into silence.
This was very unusual for the Whispering Forest, which was known as the Heaven of Warcraft, and the last time he entered the forest, it was not such a scene at all, and Yang Fan couldn't help but start worrying for a while.
Animals have a very strong ability to perceive danger, and when a natural disaster strikes, the animals are the first to reflect. And the Warcraft of this world is even more so, the powerful Warcraft will have a coercion over the low-level Warcraft, which is innate to Warcraft.
Now there was not a single demonic beast on the periphery of the forest, and there was not even a sound, which made Yang Fan have to wonder if Laurent's worries were really verified.
If it was really as Laurent thought, something happened in the swamp that prompted the collective migration of the demonic beasts inside, then it was very likely that a large number of mid-level demonic beasts would appear on the periphery of the Whispering Forest now, which was not good news for Yang Fan.
Of course, it is not ruled out that there will be high-level demonic beasts, but this probability is very low, after all, high-level demonic beasts are very powerful, and they are generally not much threatened, on the contrary, if even the high-level demonic beasts in the swamp are forced to migrate, then Yang Fan has to consider changing places to redevelop.
Just as Yang Fan was pondering, there was a sudden roar of demonic beasts in the darkness in front of the team, and Xiao Cheng, who had been following Yang Fan's feet, suddenly stood up with his upper body, opened his big mouth to reveal two poisonous fangs, and kept making a slight sound.
"Be on guard. Yang Fan said in a deep voice.
The infantrymen who heard the order surrounded the crowd, and the huge shield in their hands was erected in front of them with a thud and prepared for defense, while the archers raised their longbows, took arrows from their quivers behind their backs, and put them on the strings ready to shoot. Even the peasants all took out the machetes from their waists, just in case.
After everyone was ready for battle, the expected attack did not come, and the roar of the monster was no longer heard in the darkness in front of the team.
"Master, what's going on?" asked Ed, confused.
Yang Fan ignored his question, his eyes stared at the depths of the woods, as if he wanted to see through the fog that blocked everyone's vision.
"Master, that beast roar seems to be some distance away from here!" asked Gate.
This time, Yang Fan finally retracted his gaze, nodded slowly, with a trace of solemnity on his face, and said, "It's true that there is still some distance from here, but... Judging from the roar just now, it seems that there are quite a few demonic beasts, and..."
"And... it's almost exactly the same roar as the dinosaur we met last time. Keith picked up.
Yang Fan nodded again, and said in a deep voice: "Yes, that cry is the same as the cry of the dinosaur." If we continue walking, we may encounter a large number of dinosaurs, but what worries me the most is... The direction from which the cry just came from seems to be the direction of the forest camp. ”
"Are they using that lake in the forest camp as their lair?" said Gate, surprised.
Yang Fan didn't answer, but several people who had been to the forest camp knew in their hearts that Gat's words were likely to come true, and for the dinosaur crocodiles of the water and land families, it was undoubtedly lucky to be able to find such a large lake on the outskirts of the forest, so it was natural to use it as a habitat.
Moreover, the dinosaur crocodile is a social monster, if they really use it as their nest, I am afraid that everyone will need to face dozens or even hundreds of dinosaur crocodiles. Everyone didn't know what the combat power of the hundreds of sixth-order demonic beasts was, but judging from the one they encountered last time, the number of the current team would have to increase at least tenfold before it was possible to recapture the forest camp.
There was already a dignified atmosphere in the team, but at this time it was even heavier, and those infantry and archers who had not been here were a little better, after all, they had not seen the power of the middle-level demonic beasts of this world with their own eyes. And Yang Fan, Gat, and Keith and Ron were completely in deep worry.
"Master, what do you think we should do now?" Seeing that Yang Fan had been bowing his head and not saying a word, Gate couldn't help asking.
Yang Fan raised his head and looked at everyone, and said with a smile: "It's okay, we don't have to confront them head-on, no matter how many of them there are, as long as we speed up the construction of the territory, we will definitely be able to wipe them all out." As for now! We're here anyway, so let's go over and take a look! If there aren't many crocodiles, we'll fight with them, and if we really can't help it, forget it, and come back in the future. ”
"But master, our eyesight is affected now, and we can't see far at all, and if we let a large number of dinosaurs get close to a distance of 20 meters, I'm afraid it won't be too late to retreat!" said Gate.
Yang Fan frowned slightly, looked at the surroundings, and sighed helplessly. As Gate's point says, if you can't solve this problem, not only will you not be able to find out the situation in the forest camp, but even walking in the forest will add a bit of danger.
Just when everyone was worried, Xiao Cheng's scream made Yang Fan's eyes light up. Since entering the forest, he has fallen into speculation about all kinds of possible scenarios, but he has forgotten Xiao Cheng's identity as a monster.
As a demonic beast, his perception of other demonic beasts is very strong, and Xiao Cheng is a snake, and the eyes and tongue of the snake are two major detection weapons! In his previous life, Yang Fan had seen a lot of research on snakes, and even humans used the principle of snake's eyes to study the heat induction detector.
