Volume 1 Soul Academy Chapter 10 Forest
The afternoon sun is always so dazzling.
Lei Luo left the mansion alone and walked slowly out of the academy gates.
There seemed to be a feminine voice in the depths of the dense trees, softly calling out to those who watched it.
Lei Luo stood in place for a moment, observing the forest on all sides, and then set off, steadily advancing towards the mountain range with spirit beasts.
In fact, Lei Luo didn't plan to enter the mountain now, he just wanted to get familiar with the environment in that direction.
Although the distance between that mountain range and the Soul Academy was very far, from a distance, those continuous mountains would look very tall and majestic.
Lei Luo estimated that even if he used his spirit to run at extreme speed, it would take half a day to reach the nearest position of the mountain range.
As we walked, the distant mountain scenery was gradually completely covered by tall tree branches.
The ground gradually multiplied with all kinds of plants, completely filling the brown earth, the branches and leaves that were blown by the breeze made a rhythmic sound, and the chirping of insects and birds appeared among the nearby branches.
Walking lightly on the vegetation, his steps slow and quiet, Lei Luo's eyes kept scanning the surroundings, raising his vigilance a little.
He noticed that there seemed to be a pair of eyes in the woods that had been staring at him since not so long ago, but he couldn't find the source of this strange feeling.
The surrounding forest was still quiet, which made him a little uneasy.
At this moment, Lei Luo suddenly remembered the record in the book.
People are social creatures, and being alone in a quiet and unfamiliar environment often produces some hallucinations and delusions.
But now the chill of my body and the silence of the forest seemed to keep telling me that I was indeed being targeted by something at this moment.
The uneasiness in his heart became stronger and stronger, and a layer of cold sweat began to ooze from Lei Luo's forehead.
Finally, he couldn't suppress his nervousness and reacted.
"Thunder and Lightning!"
With the appearance of thunder and lightning, Lei Luo ran quickly among the trees, instantly destroying the silence of the forest.
The vegetation and grass he had trampled on kept swaying back and forth, adding to the tension.
After a while, a figure appeared among the trees behind him, his sturdy limbs firmly stepping on the vegetation, his white and sharp fangs exposed in the air, and he quickly chased after Lei Luo.
With the appearance of this figure, the sense of fear finally alleviated a lot, Lei Luo turned his head to look, couldn't help but be stunned, and then stopped, looking at the figure chasing him with a wry smile.
The beast, which was much larger than itself, had approached, and it seemed to see Relo stop, and it wanted to stop where it was, its limbs digging hard at the vegetation, bringing up four conspicuous paw prints, a bright red tongue steaming through its fangs, and a pair of big cute eyes swirling roundly, staring at Relo.
Lei Luo walked over gently, stroking the beast's shiny white fur and smiling self-deprecatingly.
"With thirty-five layers of soul power, you are still being chased by a white-haired dog, little brother, you are really interesting!" A pleasant chuckle came from a branch not far away.
Lei Luo looked up and saw a green shadow jumping from the tall tree trunk.
Liu Rumeng of the Wood Country had a light posture and fell straight to Lei Luo's side, her long light green hair fluttering slightly, and her crystal fresh lips were very attractive.
"You see it all, I don't have anything to say. Lei Luo smiled helplessly, and his right hand kept stroking the hair on the white-haired dog's head.
The white-haired dog seemed to enjoy it very much, lowering its head and closing its eyes, gasping rapidly and evenly, and the white-haired longtail swaying violently back and forth.
"The white-haired dog only eats insects, is curious by nature, and especially likes people to pet its head. The green yarn on Liu Rumeng's body moved with the wind, and her white little hands also stroked the white-haired dog's back.
Seemingly preferring beauty, the white-haired dog turned his head in front of Liu Rumeng and ignored Lei Luo.
"I know, white-haired dogs are also common in the Land of Thunder, and I was just scared by it. Lei Luo waved his hand helplessly and smiled awkwardly.
Liu Rumeng stroked it for a while, then gently patted the white-haired dog's head, and the latter wagged his tail and ran away.
"The forest is a mysterious place, it has the will of nature, and even if there are no beasts in the forest that can threaten you, its mystery and mystery can still scare you. Liu Rumeng looked at the direction where the white-haired dog left and smiled slightly, and read softly.
"It is said that the people of the country of wood grow in the woods, and it seems that it is not true at all, even if you are alone in the forest, you will not be afraid. Lei Luo looked at Liu Rumeng and smiled, his eyes sneaking a glance at the cinnabar under the girl's lips from time to time.
"Is it good-looking?" Feeling Lei Luo's gaze, Liu Rumeng gently put her hand to her mouth, covering the cinnabar, and her cheeks were crimson.
Hearing this, Lei Luo scratched his head in embarrassment, turned his gaze, chuckled a few times, and said, "The country of wood is also a place I really want to go, I have heard the legend of the World Tree for a long time, and I really want to see it with my own eyes." ”
Liu Rumeng covered her mouth and smiled, and said, "We welcome any visitor in the country of wood, you can go and see it at any time, speaking of which, why are you here?"
The girl's little hands have been covering the cinnabar intentionally or unintentionally, which makes Lei Luo very depressed, he really likes the finishing touch, and smiled helplessly: "It's okay to come out and go shopping casually in the afternoon, what about you?"
Liu Rumeng put down his hand and turned to the side, gently stroked the slightly rough branches, and replied: "I came to the forest to find some medicinal herbs and bring them back to the garden for cultivation." ”
Lei Luo's heart suddenly moved, and said: "Yes, the elixir of the country of wood is indeed famous, anyway, I'm fine now, let's act together." ”
Liu Rumeng blinked her eyes wide, but did not refuse.
Having made up their minds, the two walked side by side and walked leisurely through the forest.
Without saying anything all the way, Lei Luo sniffed the fragrance floating beside him, his eyes were glazed, staring straight at the way forward, his mind was in chaos, constantly recalling the people and things he met today, and the whole person seemed to have lost his mind.
Liu Rumeng didn't notice the change in Lei Luo, and the green yarn girl had been intently observing the plants on the road.
I don't know how long it took, Liu Rumeng suddenly snorted softly and squatted down in front of a clump of light yellow plants.
This light call instantly attracted Lei Luo's attention, and he looked curiously at the girl beside him.
"I didn't expect the country of light to have a thousand forest grasses, it's great. Liu Rumeng's cheeks were crimson, and she looked unusually excited.
Lei Luo instantly found the meaning of the word Qianlin grass in his mind, it is a plant that can increase the humidity of the environment within a limited range, the powder made from light yellow grass leaves can keep the skin moist at all times, and it is one of the favorite things of the girls.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Lei Luo no longer thought nonsense, put his distracting thoughts behind, and his whole mental state recovered a lot.
Suddenly, he felt a chill all over his body, and the strong sense of uneasiness that he had felt before hit him again!
A chill washed over his body like a tidal wave, making his body much heavier, and Lei Luo felt as if he could no longer move for half a minute.
Mistake!
Maybe it's deepening the impression that the charming girl gives herself, or maybe it's because her smell is too charming, so that she has completely lost her mind, and her mental power and attention have been in a state of slackness.
At this moment, with the soft cry of the girl, this sloppy state was finally broken, followed by attention and thinking that began to operate again.
I was in a strange forest, I didn't remember the road I walked with Liu Rumeng, and I didn't know how long time had passed.
These questions flowed through Lei Luo's brain quickly, but in the end, they were all broken by a pair of pupils that suddenly appeared in his heart!
The pupils became clearer and clearer, and the black and indifferent eyes were like a bottomless abyss, drawing themselves deeply into the vortex, unable to resist its pulling force.
Lei Luo's breathing gradually slowed, sweat slowly slid down his cheeks, and there was a feeling of thirst in his throat, shaking his fingers uncontrollably.
Liu Rumeng, who was not far away, excitedly picked up the Qianlin grass, as if she wanted to show it to her companions, but the girl soon noticed Lei Luo's strange expression.
Lei Luo stared at himself tightly, his eyes wide open, and his whole body trembled unconsciously.
Frightened by the frightened appearance of the young man, Liu Rumeng thought that there was something terrible behind him, and asked softly in a trembling voice, "You...... What's wrong?"
Lei Luo was still staring at Liu Rumeng.
For some reason, Liu Rumeng suddenly had a feeling that Lei Luo's eyes didn't seem to be on her body or behind her.
"You...... Don't you feel it?"
A low and hoarse voice gently spit out from his mouth, and Lei Luo finally began to slowly walk towards Liu Rumeng.
Hearing this, Liu Rumeng's heart was relieved, and she was sure that there was nothing behind her, but she also replied softly: "Do you feel the strangeness of the forest again, we ......"
At this moment, the uneasiness in his heart was instantly raised to the highest point, and before the girl could finish speaking, Lei Luo let out a low roar and threw Liu Rumeng down.
The girl exclaimed and was pressed to the ground, but then she felt the muscles tremble all over the boy's body.
At this moment, a gust of wind blew through the forest, and the branches and leaves shook violently, making a chilling shaking sound.
Liu Rumeng instantly felt as if she was naked in the ice and snow world, covered with biting cold, she hugged Lei Luo tightly, and her delicate body finally couldn't stop trembling.
Feeling that the girl holding him under him was getting harder and harder, Lei Luo gritted his teeth and signaled Liu Rumeng to be quiet, for fear that the girl's horror would lead to the source of this fear.
Liu Rumeng closed her eyes tightly, buried her head in Lei Luo's chest, and gasped violently, but she didn't make a sound either.
This sense of fear came very suddenly, so that both of them were at a loss, and they could only wait in place.
Two words popped into Lei Luo's mind.
Observe!
I don't know who or what it is.
I don't know when it started, and I don't know how long it started.
Both of them are convinced at the moment that they are being targeted!
The wind gradually stopped.
The forest is quiet again, and the chirping of insects and birds is returning.
The fear finally decreased a lot, Lei Luo no longer trembled, he felt that his heartbeat was very violent, as if he was struggling to get out of his body, Liu Rumeng under him also calmed down a lot, and let go of the arms that were holding the young man.
The hands supported on the ground finally felt a little numb, Lei Luo turned over and lay down side by side with Liu Rumeng, both of them feeling haggard.
Liu Rumeng turned to look at Lei Luo, she found that this young man was very reliable at this moment, and she felt very safe by his side.
Although Lei Luo was a little tired and lay on the ground weakly, he focused his attention on his ears, vigilant around him, and he was ready to flee if there was any change.
After a long time, the forest was still the same.
The soreness in the body made the two of them get up one after another.
Liu Rumeng pointed to a thick tree trunk not far away, and motioned for Lei Luo to go and rest together.
Lei Luo nodded, and the two of them gently moved to the trunk of the tree, sitting side by side.
This short distance of a few meters made Lei Luo feel very far away, and his eyelids began to twitch uncontrollably, very tired.
Liu Rumeng quietly approached Lei Luo and put the shoulders and arms of the two together.
As if adjusting their mental state, the two of them focused on breathing, and both were silent for a long time.
Suddenly, a loud bird's cry sounded nearby, which made the girl tremble and put her arms around the boy.
At this moment, Liu Rumeng instantly felt the strong muscles on Lei Luo's arm, and his heart was a lot more settled, but he didn't let go anymore.
Lei Luo didn't react to this, he was still vigilant around now.
At this time, the forest became very terrifying in Lei Luo's heart, looking at the trees around him, the boy hallucinated from time to time.
There always seemed to be something in the depths of the dense forest, and the owner of those dark eyes seemed to be all over the forest.
Quiet!
Quiescence!
There is danger everywhere here!
Leaning against the trunk of the tree behind him, Lei Luo wanted to blend himself in.
He remembered Sheng Hao's words, there was a spirit beast behind the mountain range that could rival the seventieth layer of soul power.
But at the same time, he had a feeling.
I don't know if it's a hallucination, an illusion, or a reality.
The owner of those black eyes is definitely not as simple as a spirit animal!
