Encountering this unexplained bizarre situation and being trapped in such a forest made the pirates more and more anxious, and their feelings gradually became unstable.
After all, these people are fierce, brutal and rude by nature.
"Looks like we're going to have to go together. ”
Chen Daolin stood in front of the one-eyed.
"Do we have a choice?" One-eyed seemed a little nervous, he looked at Chen Daolin, his eyes were full of vigilance: "Your Excellency Mage......
"I know you don't trust me. Chen Daolin simply sneered first: "But how can I trust you? We are not friends, we were enemies before. But in this kind of place, we don't have any other choice. ”
"Your Excellency...... What is there on this island?" One-eyed suddenly asked coldly, his one-eyed eye glowing coldly, staring at Chen Daolin tightly.
Obviously, One-Eye made up his mind to ask this question - when it came to such an inexplicable thing, One-Eye would never let himself be confused, and after being the boss all his life, he was used to having a clear grasp of the situation.
Chen Daolin deliberately sneered and looked at each other with one eye.
One-eyed was a little discouraged by Chen Daolin's sneer, but he still stubbornly said, "Your Excellency, I think I have the right to know the truth! If I and twenty of my subordinates are going to follow you, then at least we have to know the truth." Otherwise...... I couldn't convince myself to put our lives on something that I was all confused about. ”
One-eye's tone was very hard, and his meaning was clear: either sue me, or don't think that I am obedient.
"I can only tell you that this matter has something to do with magic. Chen Daolin said coldly: "I came here to find a place that has something to do with magicians, as for what it is, I don't need to tell you, and you don't need to know." ”
It has something to do with magicians...... You mortals, you are not qualified to know.
"Is it a treasure?" said one-eyed with a flickering gaze.
"Ha!" Chen Daolin deliberately laughed a few times, looked at One-Eyed, and said in a disdainful tone: "Captain One-Eyed, do you really know magicians? Do you think I will be short of money? A magician, because of a little money, will travel thousands of miles to the ocean to adventure overseas? Money is such a thing, I can have as much as I want, so don't do any treasure dreams, the things I came here to look for are only related to magic, and it doesn't make any sense to sue you." ”
With that, he simply turned and walked away, patted Barossa and the other girls, and motioned for them to get ready to hit the road, ignoring the pirate leader standing behind him.
It wasn't until Chen Daolin had taken a few steps that he turned around and sneered: "Captain One-Eyed, if I had a choice, I wouldn't want to take you with me at all! If you don't believe me, you might as well go by yourself and see if you can take your people out of the woods. ”
“...... Wait!"
One-Eye finally compromised, he took a deep breath, glanced at the many subordinates sitting on the ground around him, smiled bitterly, and then shouted: "All up! You lazy pigs! Don't wait!!"
......
Mixed with the pirate team, Chen Daolin simply handed over the work of opening the way to One-Eye's men. And One-eyed, with a few henchmen, followed Chen Daolin's side closely.
It was not easy to travel in this wood, and after walking down for two or three hours, Chen Daolin was already tired with a sore back and weak legs, and his whole body was drenched in sweat.
The pirates' physique was much stronger than that of the magicians, but because they took turns to send people to open the way in front, the people in charge of opening the way had to hold knives and axes all the way to chop, and everyone was also tired.
When it was completely dark, the procession stopped, everyone drank and ate, and took the dry food they had brought to satisfy their hunger.
After an hour's rest, One-Eye suggested that the party simply camp here for the night.
This construction was directly rejected by Chen Daolin.
"Overnight. Chen Daolin said coldly.
"Why?" surprised One-Eye, "my men are tired, they need to rest, can't they sleep here for the night, and wait until dawn to continue on the road? besides, it may be dangerous to travel in the woods at night." ”
"I said keep going, just keep going. Chen Daolin ignored the one-eyed reason: "This forest is strange, you can only be safe when you go out as soon as possible!" Are you willing to spend the night in this forest that will confuse people?"
It's a question that one-eye can't answer.
He felt that what Chen Daolin said also made some sense.
But Chen Daolin's true thoughts, one-eyed naturally couldn't figure it out.
If you stop for an overnight break, then ...... People on both sides are together, who will be in charge of the night watch at night, and who will sleep?
Chen Daolin didn't have to worry about letting these pirates stay on duty all night and then sleep by themselves! In that case, these pirates would definitely tie themselves up with ropes in the middle of the night and kill them!
There was such a deep hatred between the two sides, and the pirates only gave in because they thought they were invincible.
Since he stopped to rest, Chen Daolin would never dare to sleep at ease here, so there was no need to stop!
Chen Daolin's idea was very simple: if he camped, he and the three girls would not dare to sleep! But the pirates could sleep and recover, because they were so large that they could take turns to rest separately. But on your own side...... A man and three women want to take turns to rest, but they can't distinguish people.
Just keep going!
Since he and the three girls didn't have a chance to sleep, it was difficult to let these pirates have no chance to rest!
Rushing overnight made the pirates cry bitterly, and many pirates couldn't help but curse, but there was a one-eyed bullet pressure, and no one dared to really make trouble.
After walking in the forest for most of the night, Chen Daolin would ask people to climb to the top of the tree to look ahead and identify the direction every time he walked a part of the road.
The surrounding fog did not dissipate, as if there was such a strange forest and the mountain peak in the distance between heaven and earth.
When they sent someone up the tree for the third time to observe the peak, everyone finally realized that something was wrong.
"We've been gone for an afternoon and half a night!"
Duyan looked very uneasy, and he said to Chen Daolin: "Your Excellency, after walking for such a long time, according to the speed at which we are advancing, we should have at least twenty or thirty miles!
Chen Daolin's expression was also ugly.
We had been walking for an afternoon and half an evening, for ten hours. According to the footsteps, the twenty or thirty miles that One-Eye said are conservative estimates.
But how big is the whole island?
According to my previous observations on the ships on the outskirts of the island, this island may not be thirty miles long from south to north!
But if you have been walking for so long and have never been able to get close to that mountain, it must be strange.
This illusion ...... Is it really going to trap us here?
Chen Daolin was also a little unsteady in his heart.
"You're a magician, you should figure out a way!" One-eyed's expression was ugly: "The fresh water and food we carry are very limited, if we keep being trapped here and can't get out, I'm afraid it will be ......"
Chen Daolin still didn't speak.
Of course, he knew that this was the time for his own magician to do something.
He did know several spells to crack illusions, and he wanted to try them out.
But the problem is, in this hellish place, there is some kind of power that suppresses magic, and there is no magic element here! In a place where demons are forbidden, his own magician has become an ornament, and he can't use any magic, so what can he do?
Chen Daolin can't show the slightest flaw, so he can only make a calm and indifferent look.
After a moment's deep thought, he thought for a moment......
Since it's an illusion, if you want to trap yourself here, then someone must be secretly presiding over this illusion!
Is it really to trap yourself to death, or is there some other purpose?
In any case, it's not a way to go on like this, you have to think of someone hiding in the shadows to appear!
After thinking for a while, Chen Daolin took a deep breath and said a word to One-Eye.
"Set it on fire!"
“...... What do you say?"
"I said, set fire!" Chen Daolin's eyes jumped, his eyes were very firm, and he sneered: "Someone wanted to trap us with this forest, so we set fire to this forest!"
One-Eye was a little frightened: "Really set fires, won't it be dangerous? We're all in the woods!"
Chen Daolin shook his head and no longer explained: "If you want to live, listen to me!"
It's just a fantasy magic.,This forest is the carrier of the illusion.,Since you can't directly use magic to crack it.,Then use the most brutal and direct method!!
One-eyed stood there, his face pale, hesitated for a moment, and finally spat at the mouth fiercely.
At this time, he could only choose to believe in this magician.
"Light the torches!Set them on fire!Burn these trees to Lao Tzu!!"
At the sound of an order, the pirates were used to killing people and setting fires, so where was there any hesitation?
As for everyone in the woods, whether they will be involved in setting fire to the forest, then don't think about it for the time being, anyway, the order was given by the wise boss and the magician, and besides, everyone has legs and feet, won't they still run?
Soon, several torches were lit, and several pirates ran to the left and right and lit a fire in the woods.
Several piles of flames were lit at the same time, and the raging flames soon unfolded, and in the night, these flames were particularly dazzling, and as the fire spread, the surrounding grass and trees gradually swept in.
Chen Daolin quickly led everyone to retreat far away, trying to distance himself from the fire.
"The people in the shadows should always make a move, right?" Chen Daolin was gambling in his heart, he didn't believe that the guy who secretly controlled the magic of the illusion would watch himself burn this forest!
As the fire got bigger and bigger, everyone couldn't stand the smoke of everyone, and retreated into the distance again and again.
The fire began to spread among the trees, and more and more trees and grass were engulfed in flames......
One-eyed and the others looked anxious, although Chen Daolin was a little bottomless in his heart, but he still made a calm and indifferent look on his face. His expression like this really gave One-Eye and the others some comfort.
"Darling. ”
Barossa suddenly gently tugged at Chen Daolin's sleeve.
"Huh?"
"You find no. Barossa whispered, "This fire spreads very fast, and it burns very fast!"
"Hmm!" Chen Daolin nodded.
He has found out these details. Although the pirates set the fire hard, the fire spread too violently.
You must know that these living trees and plants themselves have a certain humidity, and burning is not as simple as imagined.
But the fire of this fire started very quickly! as if it was not a normal plant, but a ...... Dry firewood!
Just as the pirates retreated......
Finally, Chen Daolin's heart suddenly moved!
He clearly sensed a fluctuation of mana!
That's right, it's the fluctuation of mana!!
With a boom, a flash of lightning suddenly flashed in the sky above him!
Then the wind blew violently, and before everyone could react, the bean-sized raindrops fell on their heads and faces!
There was a thunderclap and the rain poured down!!
What a heavy rain!!
The pouring rain filled the sky and the earth, falling from the sky, and it was fierce!
Almost instantly, the fire that was spreading in the woods was suppressed!
In the pouring rain, the flames gradually shrunk, extinguished, and soon were completely extinguished by the rain!
This sudden burst of rain made the faces of all the pirates look in awe!
Only then did they set fire to the forest, and God immediately rained down to extinguish the fire...... This kind of thing, whoever it is, will also mutter in his heart.
Only Chen Daolin's expression was cold, his eyes flashed, and he just squinted at the sky......
The wind doesn't stop, the rain doesn't stop!
This rain came suddenly, and this time, it seems to be non-stop!!
At this moment, I suddenly heard a pirate in the team exclaiming: "Ah!!Look at those trees!!"
Looking at it, I saw this forest, the surrounding flowers, flowers, trees, and grasses, the original lush green color, under the splashing and washing of the rain curtain in the sky, actually ......
It's faded!!
Yes, it's faded!!
The green leaves, washed by the rain, soon faded away, and then faded more and more, and finally turned into a miserable white!
The wild flowers in the grass, which were either tender yellow or bright red, were soaked in the rain, and the bright colors were like whitewashed oil paint, gradually peeling off, and gradually fading under the rain......
This heavy rain between heaven and earth, as if with magical power, washed away this verdant wood, all colors!
The heavy rain has not stopped, and to everyone's shock, the surrounding verdant forest has turned into a ......
It's a miserable white!!
The branches are white, the trunks and leaves are white, the grass is white, the flowers are white!!
Except for the black soil under your feet, everything you can see around has become a miserable white world!!
Amid the shouting of the pirates, Chen Daolin had already stepped aside, slowly bent down, picked off a piece of miserable white "branch", gently pinched Nirvana in his hand, and then put it in his mouth to chew......
"Phew!"
He spat out heavily, then dropped the object in his hand on the ground, a strange smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Made of paper!"
It's all made of paper!
This flower, this grass, this tree, this leaf!
This huge forest, this piece of natural world, is actually all made of paper!!
A chill rose in everyone's hearts!
What a white world!
"Your Excellency, Mage!"
Just when One-Eyed was about to ask Chen Daolin, Chen Daolin suddenly waved his hand and shouted: "Silence!"
His expression changed suddenly, and he listened intently......
Right in the next moment......
In the direction of the mountain peak in the distance, suddenly there was a long howl!
A shrill whistling sound wafted in the wind, but it pierced everyone's ears fiercely!
This whistling sound is sonorous and powerful, but it is even more piercing and sharp, which makes people listen to it, as if the eardrums are faintly tingling! More importantly, this long howl, the sound is filled between the heaven and the earth, and in the heavy rain, there is a faint majesty that makes people's hearts beat and beat!
"What?!" shouted the pirates, frightened by the terrifying howling, and all drew their weapons.
As the heavy rain revealed the true face of this miserable white forest, the outline of the mountain peaks in the distance had gradually become clear.
With this long roar, a little black shadow suddenly floated out of the sky above the mountain peak!
The shadow was faint at first, but then it became clearer and clearer!
What's even more terrifying is that with this whistling sound, this little black shadow in the sky suddenly spread little by little, and a black spot quickly became three, five, ten......
Finally, it turned into a black dot in the sky, and in the midst of this whistling, it seemed to be rushing towards here!
And what made Chen Daolin change color was that Barossa's face beside him suddenly changed, and that pretty face became as white as paper!, in this whistling, the elf girl seemed to be extremely unbearable, screamed in pain, and almost irresistibly let go of the weapon in her hand, and covered her ears with both hands...... Then his body shook and was so soft that he was in Chen Daolin's arms!
Chen Daolin hurriedly hugged Barossa, and before he could speak, a trembling voice came from behind him.
"This, this whistling, is...... Griffon!!It's a griffin!!"
As she spoke, Luo Deer's body shook, and she actually rolled her eyes, and fell directly on Chen Daolin's back.
Chen Daolin was helpless, and hugged the two girls one by one.
Rodelle was in a slightly better condition, after all, she hadn't fainted yet, she just gritted her teeth and said in a trembling voice: "Darling! Run! It's a griffon's roar! The griffin's roar is naturally lethal to the elves! Look at Barossa's reaction! Run!!
Griffins?
When Chen Daolin heard this name, he was immediately shocked in his heart!
The whistling sound was instantaneous!
Another flash of lightning swept through the sky, illuminating the black night sky!
Chen Daolin finally saw the appearance of the black shadow flying far away in the sky!
It was a group of monsters flying in the sky: long wings, covered with black feathers, sharp claws like hooks, like eagles, but on the neck, there was a lion's head!
Lion's Head and Eagle ......
Chen Daolin's face also changed immediately!
Griffin!It's really a griffin!!(To be continued)
