Welcome to the New World, Wang Yu Chapter 13 The Covetousness of Determination
A faint haze permeated the entire forest.
The priest stared blankly at the forest, which had begun to fog up in the blazing midday sun, and the figure of the mad forest witch who had been hallucinating or not.
His whole body trembled slightly, frightened by the sudden appearance of that being, and fearful of what would happen to the next two people.
But he knew that he could do nothing, and that the fog would rise, and that he would be cut off from his God.
The priest had tested it, and it was useless to cast a magic spell on the mist.
The nature of separating him from the gods allowed the fog to absorb most of the power of the divine arts, which had little effect.
All he could seem to do was pray, asking the gods to guide the two young men in the right direction.
The priest was silent, praying quietly in his heart for the two of them.
What he didn't notice was that the surrounding villagers didn't seem to see the rising mist.
Normally, if these villagers, who are accustomed to the foggy time of the Misty Forest, see this unreasonable scene, they will at least talk about it, instead of as if they really didn't see it, as they are now.
That figure put so much pressure on him that his judgment of things had greatly decreased.
The wise and calm priest was also messed up after all.
β¦
Choosing to enter the misty forest at noon, on the one hand, is to consider that it is convenient to travel during the day, and the visibility is very high and it is not easy to have an accident.
On the one hand, Wang Yu does have a great sense of vigilance about the existence in the priest's story.
This world is actually quite dangerous, and some unknown things have popped up for some reason.
Most of these things are still weird, weird, and they are especially prone to this kind of weirdness in places that are out of populated areas.
And in densely populated areas, although it is not easy to appear, once these hellish things appear, it is generally a serious disaster.
Wang Yu didn't have any good ways to do this, just try to enter the forest in a safe way as much as possible, go to his destination, and do the best he can.
The midday sun pierced through the dense foliage and dappled the woodland.
Ignoring the horror story told by the priest, this forest is truly beautiful.
Insects and birds chirp, and the air is filled with the freshness of nature's plants and trees, which has that natural vitality.
Wang Yu walked at the front of the group, and Avia was sandwiched between Wang Yu and Torret, and the footsteps of the two of them were quite obvious in the quiet forest.
After about half an hour of travel, the group had been in the forest for some time.
The forest is even more dense, and the inner woodland is darker, with more lush foliage blocking more sunlight.
"Avia, is there such a thing as a woodland where the trees are denser near the center? The trees in this place are getting denser and denser. β
Wang Yu didn't understand why the woods became dense, and it stands to reason that as long as they exist long enough, the density of the trees should be about the same.
This is indeed the case, as mentioned in the journal "Druid's Heart" in the royal capital, that a forest that has been long enough will give birth to a tree king. β
"These trees have shallow sapience and emit a kind of life, and the surrounding trees are affected and become especially lush." Avia nodded, affirming Wang Yu's question.
"Then our target, the Cabin in the Woods Magic Academy, should be in a similar place, right?"
Wang Yu scratched his head, they didn't actually have any way to find the location of the Magic Academy.
But in the absence of any direction to determine, special with special, finding a special place is a good choice.
"Well, try the center near the woods." Avia agreed, and the two moved on.
The woodland was as quiet as ever, with little movement except for the natural chirping of insects and birds and the footsteps of two men and one horse.
Suddenly, Avia pulled Wang Yu's clothes, and Wang Yu turned around, "What's wrong?" β
There was a worried look on Avia's face, "We didn't seem to see any normal animals since we came in." β
"And it stands to reason that although it's daytime, the forest witches and other things in the forest should also be active, swamp slimes, and those moss-skinned goblins or something, we haven't seen them..."
"Indeed." Hearing Avia's words, Wang Yu also noticed that something was wrong.
A small part of the Misty Forest is famous for its annoying animals, but after coming in and walking for a long time, I don't actually see any nasty things.
In particular, Lin Wu, a thing that is famous in the Misty Forest, has not appeared or made a sound until now, which is a little wrong.
The two of them seemed to touch something, and the woodland suddenly became more silent, the insects and birds suddenly disappeared, and the forest suddenly changed from quiet to dead silence...
"This is..."Wang Yu felt very weird, the forest had changed since the two of them noticed it, which was really terrifying.
"Wang Yu, what should I do next?" The girl bit her lip and asked the knight squire, the change of circumstances put a lot of pressure on her.
"Keep walking, things that pretend to be ghosts generally mean that they don't have the ability to kill us" Wang Yu waved his hand, this guy has no fear at all, at most he is in awe.
In fact, this is also a fairly obvious conclusion.
If there is malicious intent, but you don't rush directly to kill them, it basically means that the enemy needs to influence them through these non-positive means.
If you want to avoid a direct confrontation head-on, this also means that the frontal combat effectiveness of this existence will not be very high.
But there is another possibility that Wang Yu didn't say it, and what he said will only affect Avia's mentality even more, that is, the existence has the malice of playing prey like cat and mouse.
However, considering the girl's intelligence, she may be able to think of this direction herself, so tacit understanding is actually a good choice.
As long as you can find the Magic Academy of the Forest Hut, then all the problems will be solved, and the organization that can exist here for a long time, not to mention the reverse constraints, will definitely have the ability to protect itself.
As the two of them continued to move forward, the atmosphere in the forest began to become strange, the sound seemed to be suppressed, and even the footsteps of Wang Yu and their footsteps became unclear.
Everything seems to be covered with a light veil, and there is an illusion of seeing flowers in a hazy fog...
No, it's not an illusion, it's really foggy, I don't know when it started, and there was a faint fog around it.
It's not thick, but it's not right to fog up more than an hour before noon.
"There's a problem, be more careful next," Wang Yu reminded Avia behind him.
There are changes, and then it's not time to ignore them boldly, ignoring them will only lead to more problems, and vigilance is the only solution.
Instead of choosing to stop, maintaining the same speed as before, Wang Yu calmly continued to go deeper into the woodland, approaching what was probably the deepest part of the woods.
The trees are more and more luxuriant, and the double shade of fog and foliage also makes the woodland darker and darker.
There is no need to panic, no matter what, panic will only lead to greater trouble, no matter what you are facing, just see the move.
Feeling his clothes being gently pulled again, Wang Yu turned around and saw Avia with obvious horror on her face, "Wang Yu, I feel something staring at me!" β
"What?" Wang Yu was stunned for a moment, he still knew Avia's character, and if she wasn't sure in this case, she would definitely not say it.
All that could be said was that Avia was sure that she felt something staring at her.
But he's been watching his surroundings, keeping an eye on his side, and he's not sensing anything, why?
"It's okay, as long as the other party doesn't appear directly, you just stay vigilant and don't panic" Wang Yu comforted, this is because the hallucinations caused by too much pressure or real peeping, Wang Yu is not clear.
From Avia's point of view, she felt a malicious gaze in the mist of the forest peering at her.
No, not one, but a lot of extremely close gazes gathered together to form a malicious and covetous gaze, peeking at her from time to time in every corner.
The gaze of multiple eyes converging together reminded Avia of the monster in the priest's memories.
This frightened her, but she didn't keep talking about it, because she knew that it would only cause trouble to Wang Yu, who was calmly leading the way, and there was no other use.
As the two of them continued to go deeper, the sense of peeping did not weaken or disappear, but became more and more serious and solid.
The sixth sense of this world does exist, and there are many people who are particularly sensitive to detect that illusory sense of gaze and the like.
Similar to the inspiration in the COC, these people tend to feel the strange beings hidden in the ordinary world, and similarly, they are more easily detected.
And Avia's sixth sense is very strong, and the strengthening of that sense of peeping makes her pressure more and more huge.
Gradually, she could see something too, and something seemed to appear in the faint mist.
It was the figure of a deformed woman, and the noisy cries of the forest witches that appeared in my ears.
The appearance of the figure made Avia freeze suddenly, she hurriedly pulled Wang Yu, and then pointed in the direction of the fog, "Wang Yu, there, that thing!" β
Wang Yu paused, of course he knew what that thing was, and turned his head to look in the direction that the nervous Avia was pointing.
The fog was faint, the light was dim, but Wang Yu's vision was nothing but fog and shadowy shadows of trees.
"I didn't see anything" Wang Yu said, his eyes narrowed slightly, is it an illusion, he won't be hallucinated, but what about Avia...
"Avia, I'm going to cover your ears next, and you close your eyes to see if that sight is still there."
The role of hallucinations requires carriers, and for people, they are the five senses, which enclose the senses, and the corresponding hallucinations will not exist..."
Wang Yu walked up to the girl and covered the other party's ears with his hands.
Avia closed her eyes, her ears could no longer hear, her eyes became dark, two of her five senses were closed, and the world became different.
The sight was still there, and the howling of Lin Wu in his ears had indeed disappeared, but the undisguised covetous sight had become more and more obvious.
That naked malice, naked greed, chill, welled up in my heart, and abnormal fear began to emerge.
"No, this fear is not normal," Avia keenly noticed.
When that thing appears, it is obviously accompanied by a wavering of willpower, and fear takes over the mind.
The priest's behavior was very similar to her, uncontrollably deepened fear, and wanted to escape for no reason, but Wang Yu was not affected...
Be calm! Telling herself this request inwardly, taking a deep breath, Avia adjusted her state.
The effects hadn't gone away, and the fear that had grown for no reason continued to affect her...
This kind of thing, it seems somewhat familiar? Isn't it somewhere to see, inspiring fear, a strange sense of gaze.
Avia's mind came alive as she noticed the details, she seemed to think of something, but she didn't.
"The sense of gaze is still there!" Avia said to Wang Yu.
"Is it still there, then it's probably there, but why can't I see it?" Wang Yu's mind was spinning.
If you can't see it with the naked eye, you may be able to try other means of observation, even if you are not proficient, but you can also try it.
The ripples of the secret energy were stimulated, the ripples were regulated, and the eyes were closed, abandoning the perspective of the naked eye, and the void energy was diffused from the surface of the body in a fluctuating manner.
The ripples spread out in the air one by one, detecting the surroundings in a form similar to radar, and what was carried on it was the "vision" that Wang Yu gave up when he closed his eyes!
Wang Yu himself developed a spell-like detection ability with secret energy, secret energyβthe inner eye.
Although it has a broader perspective, it is necessary to abandon the vision of the naked eye.
In the present, Wang Yu wants to see if this illusory and real existence can be observed by using similar, illusory and real void energy!
"Huh?!" Suddenly, Wang Yu's inner eye observed something.
Something was swept up, what kind of weird composition was that?
Within the perspective of the inner eye, a strange thing exists there, and the Void Energy outlines it.
A bunch of weird and twisted forest witches were spliced into the figure of this woman, with a weird and crazy smile on her weird face.
Moreover, what is it carrying, the same void energy?
When Wang Yu saw the thing that he couldn't see with his naked eyes, that thing also noticed Wang Yu.
As if sensing that he was not only being seen by Avia, an expression of extreme disgust appeared on the thing's maniac-grinning face.
With a distorted and malicious gaze, he glanced at Wang Yu and locked on to Wang Yu with an evil and crazy gaze.
But Wang Yu didn't feel anything, this guy's ability should be useless to him.
seems to have realized that he couldn't influence Wang Yu, and that existence directly ignored Wang Yu's side.
It doesn't seem to have the seven emotions and six desires of intelligent creatures, and they didn't come to Wang Yu because of anger.
This strange existence still looked at Avia, and in Wang Yu's perspective, that look was crazy and undisguised covetousness.
The next moment, in Wang Yu's field of vision, the thing disappeared!
"Where!?" Wang Yu was alarmed in his heart, staring intently at his field of vision.
In the next moment, that thing suddenly appeared on the side of Avia beside Wang Yu.
There was no trace, no trace, just an abrupt moment without a trace of interval
With a strange smile and greedy malice on his distorted face, he stretched out his deformed palm forcibly twisted by Lin Wu's body and grabbed Avia's head.
Wang Yu reacted, and instantly drew his sword and pulled it back, slashing it with a sword, and the long sword swept through the air, pulling through the silver-white trajectory.
The sound of "whoosh" piercing the air was heard, but it passed through!
The long sword was fast, but it was useless, Wang Yu's long sword passed directly through the strange existence, and it had no effect.
Avia also saw the strange existence in front of her, and the fear in her heart was growing, and an indescribable panic appeared.
Reaching out to block the strange being's palm, his left hand reached out and passed through it as if through an illusion, without hindrance.
The claw gripped at Avia's head unhurriedly, as if it were winning...
Then, there seemed to be a crashing sound in the air, but it wasn't.
Avia's right hand, the right hand that had become illusory, collided with the strange thing, and actually knocked the other hand's hand off.
The thing disappeared all of a sudden, and when it reappeared, it was already under a tree a few meters away, tilting its head, its neck bent strangely, and turning 180 degrees to look at Avia...
This is Lin Wu's signature expression, but it looks extremely mad and disgusting when made of a human form.
There was some doubt on the face of the thing, and an increasingly fiery, unquenchable covetousness and greed.
(Thanks for watching, your viewing is the best support for me mouth pressure)
