Chapter 149: Lost in the Forest
Unconsciously, the two of them had already arrived in the hall of the mercenary union, and there were four spars emitting white light in the four corners of the hall, illuminating the entire hall very brightly.
"I don't know what the highest-level mission here is now?Is it the mission to enter the Lost Forest to find treasure?" After a few words of greeting, Jing Yi asked the purpose of this visit, and at the same time looked at the woman without a trace, observing the change in the expression on her face.
"Sir, I heard from people outside, we do have such a task here, but if you want to really take it, you still have to register first, only by registering as a member of the mercenary union, you can enjoy the rewards given by the union, if you don't register first, then you have to pay a certain fee to be able to take these tasks. The woman's professional smile.
"This brother is also interested in the mission I have issued?" At this moment, a burly, bearded, and domineering-looking man walked over, his voice was very loud, and there were some obvious air concussions coming from his speech. The man had a big belly, but he was a little short and looked a little clumsy.
"I've only heard that the danger in the Lost Forest is so dangerous that no one should enter it. Jing Yi said tentatively, "Presumably, Mr.'s wish to find that treasure may be in vain." ”
"The little brother laughed, I think the little brother is also very human, I don't know if you have any thoughts about taking the task I assigned? After more than ten days of solicitation, there are already seven warriors willing to enter it, how can my wish be disappointed. The man's tone was firm. "If the little brother wants to come, he will gather here in three days. There must be the most generous reward, and the effort will definitely be rewarded. ”
"I'm sorry, I didn't have the heart to go in, after all, it's too dangerous to get lost in the forest. Jing Yi smiled, looked at each other without hesitation, paused, Jing Yi said, "I don't know what Mr. is called?" ”
"If the little brother is coming, I will naturally reserve a seat for the little brother. Just call me Wu Gangtu. The man smiled and passed by Jing Yi. He didn't look back, and looked for someone in this hall who could go with him. After all, it is too dangerous to enter the Lost Forest, and the number of people set for this mission is more than fifteen, but not many people are willing to enter. He had to look for it himself.
Jing Yi smiled. After a few words of teasing with the woman who had brought him in, he turned around and walked out of the mercenary union. Straight out of town. All you have to do now is to go to the outskirts of the Lost Forest to find out where to hide, so that you can track down Wu Gangtu's team. Let's see what their destination is, so that they can snatch the Sacred Heart Awakening Pill when the time comes.
The terrain of the Lost Forest is complex, and just looking at it from the outside, there is a feeling that you can't start, let alone enter it. In such a complicated place, if you don't have a map, if you want to find some treasure in it, you can only sit down and mark it along the way, otherwise you will get lost in it. Thinking about this clearly, Jing Yi didn't go deeper into it, the terrain here changes every day, in case he is fascinated by it, then it will be difficult to follow the team of Wu Gangtu after three days. In desperation, he had no choice but to give up, and returned to the city in the evening and found a hotel to stay in.
Three days later, a team secretly left the city and headed for the location of the Lost Forest. Jing Yi didn't make any moves, he was still in the hotel, and after two days, Jing Yi set off from the hotel and hid in a hidden place outside the Lost Forest, and Wu Gangtu spoke very loudly when he was in the union hall, so the real time of departure must not be three days after he said, and the people who entered the Lost Forest before may be a group of killers, or a group of pathfinders. There are countless treasures in the Lost Forest, and there must be a lot of people who covet them, so there will be no fewer people who secretly follow them. Although Wu Gangtu looked at the five big and three coarse, his mind was actually extremely delicate and he would not make that kind of low-level mistake.
Jing Yi waited here for two days, just when he wondered if he had made a mistake in judgment, suddenly there was a sound of footsteps from a distance, the Lost Forest is a god-like existence in the eyes of the locals, no one will enter it for no reason, and now the sound of footsteps means that someone is approaching here with a purpose. Jing Yi was overjoyed in his heart, knowing that Wu Gang Tu was afraid that he was coming, so he used the Shadow Trace at the moment, and the whole person disappeared, leaving no items or traces around. Jing Yi already knew how to hide himself perfectly, and these were all realizations in the peerless assassination.
Sure enough, after staying in this state for a long time, I saw that Wu Gangtu walking towards this side, his appearance has changed slightly, if you don't identify it carefully, you can't identify it at all, but fortunately, Jing Yi has a special method when identifying people, which can recognize him. Wu Gangtu was followed by more than a dozen people, all of whom were slightly disguised.
When the dozen or so people in this group arrived not far from where Jing Yi was hiding, they sat down in place to rest, and Wu Gang Tu looked around, and finally put his eyes on the place where Jing Yi was. Jing Yi felt nervous for a while, could it be that Wu Gangtu found out? In the middle of the tension, Wu Gangtu walked to his side not far away and began to pee, with a comfortable face. Jing Yi couldn't move at all, only his body turned slightly sideways, so he was not splashed on his body.
After a long time, Wu Gangtu shook his whole body, lifted his pants and walked to the group of several people, and without knowing what to say, these people walked towards the lost forest. Jing Yi didn't dare to relax, and followed closely, hanging far behind.
As soon as you enter the Lost Forest, you feel as if all the plants around you are surrounded in an instant, sealing all the places where you can dodge, and it seems as if the light that is coming in through the cracks in the trees is swallowed up. The trees here are full of branches, there are not many leaves, and they seem to be dead trees, but when you cut the bark, there is still a kind of pitch-black sap flowing out, which is very disgusting. There was still a faint dead aura spreading in this forest, the kind of dead qi that Jing Yi had felt in the Devil Mountain Range at the beginning. But if you don't look closely, you can't find it.
The silence in the woods was unusual, except for the sound of footsteps, the only thing that could be heard was the sound of breathing, which was obviously not normal. Jing Yi also walked more and more cautiously, the team in front of him walked quite fast, Jing Yi could only follow closely, and after walking like this for two days, the surroundings were also dark, and he couldn't tell whether it was day or night, and he had already come to the depths of the dense forest.
All of a sudden. Jing Yi found that the people he was following were gone. Running forward quickly for a while, still no trace of those people was found, Jing Yi quickly calmed himself down and leaned against a tree to think of countermeasures. Now he's in the middle of the woods. Leave those people behind. The way from which they came was also gone. The whole person is equivalent to being trapped in a dense forest. Now it's either going in the direction those people are walking, or it's going back the way they came, but now there's no possibility of returning at all. The road was so tortuous that it was hard to make out at all.
Jing Yi flew up a distance towards the sky, but he couldn't reach the height of the canopy at all, and the whole person seemed to be imprisoned in the air by a magical power. It's easy to get lost in this kind of place, and if you're not careful, you'll get completely lost in the forest, and now you'll have to find the path that runs through the entire Lost Forest, so that you can return or go into the depths and find the treasure that those people are looking for.
Suddenly, Jing Yi's eyes were a little blurry, and a wave of fatigue also hit quickly. Is it that I haven't slept for the past few days and am too tired? No, no, with my physique, even if I don't sleep for several months, I won't have this kind of tiredness, this kind of tiredness comes from the spirit! Jing Yi suddenly woke up and looked around, but he didn't find anything. The only thing he could hear was the sound of his own breathing.
"This is the miasma that the middle-aged man said?" Jing Yi looked around, but he didn't find any demon beasts, and immediately remembered what the middle-aged man said about the miasma of the mountains and forests, which is said to affect people's minds. Jing Yi didn't believe it before, but now he felt a burst of powerlessness, this miasma turned out to be a spiritual toxin, which could cause harm to people's spiritual power.
"The miasma here is fatal to the monks who form the sea of consciousness, once these miasma enters the body, then it will completely become a killing machine, although you have not formed the sea of knowledge, but the spiritual power can also be compared to those strong people at the peak of the soul emperor, now all the pores of your body are closed, if you soak in this miasma for a long time, you will faint, and then you will not wake up. Li Qing's voice was full of caution, "Because I have also formed the sea of knowledge, I can only dwell in the power of the three phases, and now you have all your spiritual power in your mind, and you must not exude a single cent." Once it is emanated, it will be in danger. ”
Jing Yi hurriedly closed all the pores on his body, and then collected all his spiritual power according to Li Qing's words, although the perception of the whole person was greatly reduced, but he also obviously had some resistance to this miasma. Jing Yi summoned the Snake Heart Cold Flame and formed a layer of ice on the surface of his body to deal with the sudden attack. At the moment when he just woke up, Jing Yi suddenly had the illusion of being topped by something.
"Now you have to prove that you are not going around in circles, you have to make a mark in this place. Jing Yi formed a wind blade on his fingertips, slashing towards a tree in the distance, leaving a clear trace.
Suddenly, Jing Yi's feet shook, and before he could react, a withered branch wrapped around him and tied him tightly, although it was a withered branch, but it was extremely tenacious. However, under Jing Yi's body, which now has hundreds of thousands of catties of huge strength, he still broke free lightly. Breaking the branch, Jing Yi looked at the thing behind him that was winding around him.
It was a huge tree, dozens of meters high, and in the center of the tree there was a hideous human face, which was spewing black air currents at the moment. Countless branches derived from the tree and wound towards Jing Yi, there were countless barbs on the branches, all of which shimmered with cold light, and some extremely corrosive sap flowed out of those barbs, corroding the ground into green smoke.
"This is what the man said about the Dryad?" Jing Yi quickly summoned the Dragon Lance, and several huge wind blades shot out from the body of the spear, twisting some of the branches close to him to pieces, but before those debris could hit the ground, countless branches were entwined, as flexible as snakes.
"It's not a way to go on like this, the wind is blowing and the dragon is flying!" Jing Yi burst out, and then most of the energy rushed towards the dragon lance, forming a five-clawed green dragon with teeth and claws clawed towards the body of the tree. The cyan dragon carried countless conflicting wind blades on its body, twisting all the dead branches of the trees that approached, and then a clear roar was heard, and the tree was pierced through a large hole, and the green dragon also disappeared.
The giant tree was so tough that it was only pierced, but it was not completely broken. There was a scream from the giant tree, and then, an invisible whirlpool swamp formed at Jing Yi's feet, and in an instant, Jing Yi was swept in, not knowing whether he was alive or dead. (To be continued......)
