Chapter Ninety-Four: The Strange Forest

"It's so much better than the hellish place in Hell's Kitchen, and I don't want to go back to that place full of monsters." Karn looked back indignantly at the tunnel he had climbed out of, and could see the citizens waiting in anticipation on the street.

He and the other men and women, Blanche and Bonnie, are all Killers of the Holy Order, a ninja organization led by Daredevil's master, Stick, who specializes in fighting the Hand Order, but was left behind after the lockdown of Hell's Kitchen to help the Defenders fight the monsters.

"Don't talk nonsense." Jessica tapped the headband on her head with her index finger and motioned for everyone to be careful, "We need to find food quickly and bring it back, the people from Hell's Kitchen are still waiting for us, let's go." ”

"Okay, let's get out of the way." Karn and his two companions walked at the front, the cliff was not too steep, and it could slide down the slope directly, and as soon as he entered the forest, the sun was much darker, and then he realized that the forest was even more lush than he had imagined, completely obscuring the sky.

It was also covered with a green vine that had never been seen before, coiled like a vessel, and a flower bag that resembled cabbage, except that the leaves were jagged and had an eerie deep turquoise.

"This is supposed to be an edible vegetable, right?" Karn cut the nearest flower bag with his saber in curiosity, the wound dripping green juice as the vine shrank back as if it felt pain.

"Yo, still shy?" He made another cut and laughed as the vine shrank back like a mimosa.

"Karn, we've never seen this plant before, be careful of being poisonous." Jessica dipped a little liquid with a stick and put it on the tip of her nose and smelled it, it was not particularly unpleasant or pungent smell, just a surging vegetable smell, which made people who hadn't eaten vegetables for a long time can't help but swallow saliva.

"Maybe we should use a critter to do the experiment." Bullseye picked up a stone from the ground and looked around, everything that could be thrown could be turned into a deadly weapon in his hands, so he didn't take the gun from the table outside, but brought a dozen throwing knives that could be used to throw.

But then he was shocked, "Did you notice that something seems to be missing in this forest?" ”

"There's nothing abnormal" Iron Fist also looked around in his appearance, and finally wrinkled his face and said: "Soil, sunshine, green leaves, isn't this poetry and distance?" It's very habitable, or should we find a way to relocate the people of Hell's Kitchen here, and it's no better than the original Hell's Kitchen? ”

"That's not right!" Jessica noticed a hint of abnormality, but she couldn't say it, and gnawed on her nails for a long time before her eyes widened and said, "Quiet! It's so quiet here! Not only are there no birds and mice, but there are not even the most common insects. ”

After being reminded, everyone was shocked to realize that there was no superfluous sound here except for the rustle of the wind and the sound of the stream flowing next to it, and there was an eerie death silence under the vigor of the greenery.

"Guys, when we come to this strange place, we still have to be careful and try not to touch anything." Jessica dissuaded.

"We're here to find food, and now that the vegetables are in front of you, you're scared to death, so why don't you let me do this experiment." Karn tore off a green leaf and stuffed it into his mouth with disdain, and muttered, "It tastes good, the body of the cabbage tastes like a cucumber, maybe the cucumber is cheating." ”

"Is there no problem?" Blanche also said a little impatiently.

"No problem at all, are you still worried that this leaf will come alive and punch me in the mouth?"

"A punch to you may not be, but it may kill you, and it will take some time if this thing is really poisonous enough to flare up." Jin pursed his lips and said indifferently, he didn't dissuade Karn when he was about to eat the leaves, because he brought a few more people in just so that they could step on the thunder and explore the way.

The reason why he opened his mouth now not to let others take risks was by no means a good intention, but to preserve the living force and be able to step on the thunder on the way back, and he had a strong premonition that this place might need to be filled with human lives.

"Wow, you're really cautious, no wonder you can become the former king of the underworld, as for the lack of bugs, maybe there are no such creatures in this world? To be honest, don't you think that if there were no mosquitoes here, it would be more suitable for human life? ”

"The Point Guard Is Here"

Karn said all this just to stall for time, so that no one else could see the timidity in his heart, and after waiting for a moment to find that he was not feeling any discomfort, he said with a slight mockery: "If you don't want to eat it, I'll eat it all." ”

After he finished speaking, he directly hugged the whole flower bag and gnawed it like a rabbit, and at the same time sucked the juice, and saw the same flower bag along the road and specially cut a few more in his arms, and saw that all the people were secreted by water, but everyone is not an ordinary person, and the determination to face this temptation is still there.

"The compass is completely useless, and there is no way to rely on the sun to determine the direction, so let's follow the river and reach the village by the lake." Jessica pulled out her knife and made a mark on the trunk of the tree to identify the way it came, and then followed the sound of the water to the river.

The river was so clear that it looked like it was calf deep, but there was still no living life in it, which made her feel very uneasy, but it only made everyone follow the river carefully, maybe it was really as Karn said, there really was no living life in this world except plants.

If that's the case, it's even better, you can really consider moving the people from Hell's Kitchen here in batches, and you can rely on this place to fight those monsters, but you still have to grab the mirror.

As for the headband on the head, it is just a machine, no matter how sophisticated the machine is, there will be loopholes, and it is completely possible to find a way to solve it.

Jessica planned all the way, and waited until the sunlight through the forest became thinner and thinner before turning back and said, "It's going to be dark soon, so let's set up camp here without hurrying to be on the safe side, and we won't be in a hurry." ”

After finishing speaking, she noticed that everyone's faces were weird, and she couldn't help but wonder, "What's wrong?" ”

"Look here." Bullseye pointed to a mark on the tree and said, "Is this the first mark you made?" We walked around and seemed to come around in a circle. ”

"How is that possible!? We've been going straight ahead! Jessica looked at the marks on the tree with a look of incredulity, and that was indeed the first mark she made.
