The forest has no name, and on the map it is only a part of the northern foothills of the Cloud Mountains. There is no end in sight to ordinary humans, and the seemingly endless green mountains are like the stars and the moon compared to the great forests of the "Emerald Sea" that occupy the entire western world.

But even so, it is still a real "primeval forest". This term means that it has never been conquered by any unnatural civilization from ancient times to the present day. Not to mention the beasts, wurms, giant carnivorous plants, and even unknowable ancient creatures that lurk in the depths of the forest, even the forest itself has evolved into some kind of life form that is difficult for humans to understand.

With enough time, this mountain range may also give birth to demigods of nature, or even true gods. So even though it was forever silent and seemed so quiet, no one dared to invade it.

Except for the believers of the nature gods, or the "hunters" who are themselves in the natural laws of the forest, even the most elite warriors dare not say that they can escape with their whole body here.

"The core of the law of nature is survival, natural selection, and survival of the fittest. ”

"The so-called survivability does not necessarily require a sharp sword, or great strength. Every animal or plant in the forest has its own way of survival. ”

Cutting through the bushes that stood in his way, El withdrew his axe and kicked the chopped branches aside.

"From the perspective of us humans, if we want to survive in the forest, we have to make the most of ourselves. Our bodies are weaker than those beasts, but our minds are smarter than theirs. ”

A lot of survival experience in the forest was accumulated bit by bit by El himself with his own life. Only when you actually go into the forest will you understand that a lot of theoretical things don't apply.

If you want to describe the dangers in the forest in words, no matter what words you say, you can't bear to say. Fortunately, he has been learning his adoptive father's storytelling skills since he was a child, and he knows how to organize language, and if he is another hunter, he may not be able to say anything even if he chews his tongue.

El had been taking Tiana and Tika deep into the forest for hours, and they had walked along a mountain stream for a while, diving headlong into the forest before the sun rose overhead. Since then, until now, there are endless towering trees all around, and there is no other reference and no real road.

So far, they have not encountered a truly threatening beast, thanks to El's familiarity with the herd's territory. However, the short-term safety is often paralyzing, and the two girls have clearly let their guard down, which makes El a big headache, and has to learn to nag like an old woman, repeatedly reminding them to cheer up.

Tika carried a large backpack, and the food in it had once again been discarded by El, and stuffed into a pile of strange but weightless things. The backpack has pans and other utensils strapped to the outside, and it looks very funny. The little maid was unaware of this, but enjoyed the scenery along the way with great interest. Her physical strength is actually not bad, but she has no experience of traveling outside before.

Tiana followed behind with her head down, her lips pursed, her pale face flushed from the long journey. El didn't let her burden the extra package, and at the same time deliberately slowed down. But in the end, the body did not fully recover, and the long trek made the girl walk a little staggering.

Due to the embarrassment caused by the excitement in the morning, Tiana, who calmed down, only felt ashamed, and the strong sense of shame made the eldest lady not open her mouth to ask El for help all the way, but just gritted her teeth and followed without saying a word.

Fortunately, whenever her wheezing voice was a little heavier, a kind hand would reach out in front of her, and when she looked up, she could see Tika's lively and cute smile.

Last night, the two girls muttered to each other in a bed for half the night, and when they got up, they became familiar friends with each other. Although Tika was very dissatisfied with El's flower, he did not mean to blame Tiana. With a woman's intuition, she had already guessed that Tiana was the one who had saved the village with medicine. The reason why she followed El out of the village was that in addition to relying on him, she was also vaguely aware of his true intentions.

If she can help Tiana repay this kindness, she is willing to put in the effort.

"Thank you, Tika. Tiana said sincerely. Although it was not intentional, the truth is that she did use Tika in order to destroy the enemy, and she almost caused irreparable damage. Even now the girl has enough reason to be hostile to herself, but she chooses to be tolerant.

"It's okay, if you can't walk, just say it. Tika carefully grabbed Tiana's uninjured wrist, her forehead covered in a fine layer of sweat.

Blind travel without knowing the destination often creates additional fatigue.

Listening to the sound of footsteps floating behind him, El couldn't help but think of the exhausted fawn he had encountered. He watched from afar as the fawn was being chased by some wild beast, and fled in a panic into a strange woodland.

The young deer fell under a seemingly ordinary tree, and within a few minutes, it was tied up with rattans hanging from the tree. By the time he walked over, all that was left was a bloody mess of meat sauce.

In the forest during the day, the threat of wild beasts is actually not great, and the vast majority of carnivorous beasts are nocturnal animals. The greatest danger comes from the forest itself - you don't know which creature likes to eat meat.

The place where the three of them are currently located looks like ordinary cedar trees, and there seems to be no danger on the surface, and it is very quiet.

However, in the hunter's experience, there are times when quiet is not necessarily a good thing.

The forest is full of strange creatures, and there is always some sound. The most common and noisy sound is the chirping of birds, but these little creatures are also the most sensitive, and they will flee as soon as they perceive a threat from a distance.

When you find that your surroundings suddenly become quiet, and even the sound of birds disappears, it often means that you have stepped into some kind of "hunting ground" of existence.

In the bushes under the cedar grove, there are some inconspicuous thorn branches, and if you look closely, you will find that those brown thorn vines are full of sharp barbs, and the smell of corpses faintly emanates from them.

In the leaf-covered humus under the roots of the trees, there were clusters of green grass growing in the east and west, and only by discerning the power of the runes could you see that a layer of light shrouded them. If you can see through that illusion, you will find that there are many white bones left under the grass!

It is conceivable that if the ignorant traveler used this place as a campsite for rest, it would not take half a night to be eaten cleanly, and there would not be even a complete skeleton left.

El stopped and motioned for the two girls to follow him, but Tika followed him step by step, accidentally paying attention, and hit him directly in the chest.

"Uh-huh......" Tika let out a tearful cry, clutching her sore nose and looking at El with a confused face.

"Be careful, I've sprinkled grass ash on your shoes and hands to repel insects, but not to mask the smell of flesh. Don't touch any plants with your body. ”

El looked at the state of the two of them and couldn't help but shake his head. The speed at which he crossed the mountains alone was several times faster than now, and it was really exhausting to take these two inexperienced girls with him.

He took Tiana's hand, bent down, and picked her up sideways amid the girl's exclamations. Tiana's body is light, so it is not a burden for him.

"Huh?!" Tika muttered as his eyes widened in surprise, his mouth pursed aggrievedly.

"The master is such a villain! Even if you cuddle and hug in broad daylight, you have to take advantage of people's danger. Hey, hey, there's a third person here...... I'm tired too. ”

"Get to the next safe campsite early and you'll get an early rest. El knocked the little maid's head: "Dare to complain to the master, you are not allowed to eat at night." ”

"Bully, bully!" Tika clutched his head, whispering to himself.

"Isn't the maid just used to bully and scold? ”

El replied with a flaming fire, unsurprisingly threatened by the little maid poking her finger in the back. After a bit of a fight, Tika finally recovered his spirits, and the speed of the team suddenly sped up a lot.

"Thank you...... Thank you. Tiana blushed and whispered as she leaned on El's chest. Moon-white strands of hair drooped from her ears and brushed El cheeks.

The warm and soft body in his arms made El inevitably start to feel ape again, but the murderous aura faintly coming from behind him made him secretly warn himself that he had eaten too much meat recently, but his brain must remain clear.

Tiana's speed had delayed a long distance, and although it was not too late, there weren't too many places in the forest where it was safe to spend the night. Elmai took a big step and quickened his pace.

"We're going to climb over the mountain in front of us before the sun goes down, and that's where the bears live, and bears are one of the few large beasts that move during the day, and their territory is full of other beasts, and it's perfect at night. ”

Remembering the hapless velociraptor he had encountered, El shook his head, it was a special case after all. Anything can happen in the forest, and no one can guarantee 100% safety. It's just that I've had too many dealings with those bears, and I'm more familiar with their living habits.

"El...... Mr. Tiana's voice came from her ears, almost inaudible.

"Huh?"

"Where are you going?"

"...... to the south" El hesitated, he didn't have a specific goal for the time being, and he wasn't very familiar with the world outside the forest.

"As long as we can stay away from the north, may the plague stop there. ”
