Volume I; Moonlight in Wales Chapter 9 The Forest of Fear

The airship emitted a thick cloud of gray smoke and crashed into the trees on the ground, thankfully not so high, as the beard had said before, it couldn't be killed.

The bearded man on the airship tried his best to control the speed of the airship's forced landing, and his mouth kept shouting and swearing, and all the vulgar words you could imagine were all spoken to the church.

With a burst of wind, the airship slashed through the canopy with the splintered wreckage and fell into the woods.

Seeing this, the people of the church scattered and descended into the woods and began to search for Francis and the others.

After a brief coma, Francis came to his senses and looked around to find himself hanging upside down from a tree branch, with wounds large and small, but not fatal.

As for the big bag containing the potions, there was no trace of it, but the bearded man patted the dust on his body like a normal person, and stood up and was still scolding; "Dog Church, I should have peed in your face when I passed by the Holy See in Wangcheng last time!"

After that, he dragged Francis down from the branch and patted his chest proudly; "See, I'm as strong as a bear, if you gave me the second-order mutation of the Gray Guard's potion before, I can turn into a mountain!"

No wonder this guy didn't have any bruises, Francis thought, the physical fitness of extraordinary people is the same as that of monsters, but if you don't do it well, you will really become a monster.

One of the distinctive characteristics of the Grey Guard is the hardening of the skin and its strong strength, which is less destructive than the others, but as stable as Mount Tai.

The bearded man smiled heartily, grabbed Francis's hand and said; "My name is Solomon."

"You can name anything."

With a perfunctory remark, Francis pulled out his hand to pull out Merra, who was trapped in the airship, her already shoddy wheelchair had been shattered.

Mei, who came out, said in a deep voice; "I can't figure out why the church did this, didn't they want a potion when they shot down the airship?"

Francis shook his head and said he didn't know what an ironic day it was, everyone had a plan, and it all ended up changing unexpectedly.

This is true of Francis's tricks, the secret robbery of the Brotherhood's airship.

The bearded man pricked up his ears and listened to the nearby sounds, "The church is probably searching for us, we need to leave quickly." ”

Not only fast, but preferably before dark, after all, everyone knows how dangerous the night in the Welsh wilderness can be.

Francis glanced at the broken wheelchair, May couldn't walk now, her legs couldn't. Francis scratched his head and thought for a moment, took some ropes from the wreckage, and tied May on his back.

May resisted at first, and kept pushing Francis's hand away until he said helplessly; "Alright, you have to lose your temper and go home."

As soon as Francis finished speaking, May's hand drooped down, and in an instant she became like a docile kitten.

May noticed that the bearded man had a meaningful smile and a fierce tone like a tiger; "What do you look at, stupid big man!"

Solomon shrugged his shoulders and began to reply without flinching, "What do you care about me, lame." ”

They quarreled all the way, and Francis listened in the middle, so annoyed that he shouted at them to stop.

It was not easy to carry the weight on Mei's back, and after walking a few kilometers of off-road forest road, Francis stopped and gasped and asked; "Where did we fall?"

Solomon pulled out a map-like piece of paper, looked it horizontally and vertically, and finally said that the place was the edge of the Forest of Terror.

"Why is it so poetic?"

The bearded man sniffled and explained the matter.

Before the first millennium of humanity, this place was just a wilderness, and since the appearance of the first aberrant monsters, this place has become foggy all year round.

The bearded man paused and continued to explain; "Then a princess disappeared here, and the church sent many, many hunters to look for her. After a heart-wrenching scream at the end, the church people returned in fright, and the next day the woods appeared. ”

Francis raised his head after hearing this, sighed and sighed; "There are legends everywhere in this world, and when you accidentally discover the truth, it will become the biggest nightmare of your life."

"The last thing that is lacking in this era are nightmares and monsters." The bearded man responded.

As they spoke, the sky began to rain on the ground.

Seeing that the rain was not stopping, the rain also made the already difficult forest road even more slippery, and the best thing was that, as the bearded man said, the whole forest began to glow with thick fog at a speed visible to the naked eye.

At this moment, Francis only felt a sense of being teased by fate, there was no way, it was impossible to leave the woods of fear before dark, everything was going in the worst direction.

Solomon's ears suddenly ceased to be quiet, and began to sound like nothing, but Francis did not speak, and May was holding Francis's neck with her eyes closed and pretending to sleep. He began to have some bad premonitions, and he had to find a safe place to prepare for the night, "We are not welcome in this wood. ”

Immediately Francis and Solomon went separately in the heavy rain to look around for a reliable safe haven, Francis searched for a long time but did not find it and knew that he could not go too far, so he had to go back to see Solomon's situation.

Seeing Solomon standing motionless at the bottom of a cliff looking at the mouth of a cave, Francis stepped forward and said; "This place looks like it's enough, what are you hesitating about."

Solomon pointed to the cave with a very serious expression and said; "There's a fucking goat stuck in the innermost part."

As soon as Solomon had finished speaking, the sound of a goat's cry came from the cave.

Francis breathed a sigh of relief, he had just looked at Solomon's appearance and thought there was a demon inside, and when he went in to see that there was indeed a goat, but there was nothing else, and besides, it was dry enough, and now they had no time to find some better place to spend the night.

Solomon patted his drenched head and reluctantly agreed to the decision.

He had always disliked goats, and Solomon always felt that the goats' cries were similar to those of some monsters, and they always brought back bad memories in his mind.

There was no moon tonight, and there were no fingers in the woods, and the thick fog added to the eerie atmosphere of the woods.

At the entrance of the cave, May was warming herself by Francis over the campfire, while Solomon sat near the entrance to the cave as far away as possible from the goat.

On the other side of the mansion, Aisha was crying loudly because Francis had left first, and then May had left, and Abel was busy reassuring her.
