Chapter 54: Trapped in the Forest

"What should I do in this situation?"

In front of Lindsay, Wichner was complaining about his current situation.

But if you look closely, you can see that while the young man's tone is complaining, his eyes are trembling and revealing cowardice.

Faced with the forest vision that surrounded the fleet, it was difficult for ordinary people not to fear what happened to them.

Lindsey saw the scene in her eyes.

He used the power of the flame to heat up some of the chicken in his hand, and then handed it to Vecner:

"Don't worry, the forest mutation will end sooner or later."

"Since Lord Moon has called on everyone to explore the forest, it is impossible for him to turn a blind eye to such a thing."

Hearing Lindsay's reassurance, Wikner nodded vigorously.

He took the chicken in front of him and took a bite, and his face improved.

In addition to bringing nutrition and warmth, hot food can also relieve people's negative emotions, and they are not as mentally sensitive as they were just now.

"Ahh

Saw Wickner's performance improve.

Lindsay sighed and walked alone to the edge of the camp.

They are now in a clearing by the Echo River, with boats tethered to them as makeshift camps.

The forest has changed and the river has become more dangerous.

Razor is a seasoned explorer.

He knew the consequences of acting rashly in such a dangerous environment.

So after the forest showed something strange, Razor quickly decided to stop sailing, and everyone landed on the shore and waited for their time in this rare clearing.

According to past experience, the forest mutation will end after a period of time, which is the consensus of the people in the forest garden.

But for now, the sense of security that this consensus has created is fading.

Because the flotilla had been resting in this clearing for a whole day, and now the time was the next morning.

The forest changes that should have subsided have not ended today!

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"I haven't dealt with the situation for two days, it's too abnormal."

Lindsey shook her head slightly.

In the past, there were changes in the forest, and even if it was delayed for a while, it was generally resolved in one day.

Something must have happened in Jiuwan City.

At the very least, it would leave Mulenahun without time to take action to quell the great changes in the forest.

The organizer of the Seven Phases.

Even if you want to do it, you won't be picky at this juncture.

With thought in her mind, Lindsay walked alone to the edge of the camp, her palm caressing the surface of a twisting plant.

【Plant: Longevity Ironwood】

[An ordinary plant, but due to the damage to the leylines of the forest, the will of the forest is in anger.] 】

[Plants that are common in the forest and have a low value. 】

Lindsey recalls the description of the last time she looked at it.

- The leylines of the forest are under attack, and they are uneasy.

- Now it's a damaged state, and it's in anger.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"It's getting worse."

Lindsay frowned, and that's when he sensed someone watching him.

Turning his head, he saw that Razor, the leader of the fleet, was walking towards him, and greeted him with a serious expression:

"Mr. Drake."

Lindsey nodded and replied:

"What's the matter?"

Razor spoke in a coherent manner, starting with a statement of the dilemma, not exaggerating the crisis or fabricating false hopes:

"Now that people are trapped in the forest, it's not appropriate to move forward. But even if you turn back down the waterway, you may damage the ship, and you will inevitably continue to be stranded, and even encounter more dangers......"

Lindsay also knew about these situations, so she directly interrupted Razor's statement:

"So we're going to stay in the forest?"

Razor saw that Lindsay didn't want to delay time, so he said bluntly:

"I'm going to clear a safe enough area. Enough to keep us here until we get rescue, or the forest mutation subsides. ”

"The Awakened in the fleet had better be able to contribute."

Lindsay looked around.

Where they are is just a small clearing along the river.

Neither the Awakened nor ordinary people are reluctant to approach the forest, which directly leads to the fact that this already small open space is even more crowded, almost human-to-person.

Whenever something goes wrong, there's not even a safe space to move around.

"No problem"

Lindsey understood that Razor was right, and nodded in agreement:

"I can help, it's just that my left hand is not very convenient, and I can only use one hand to participate in combat."

Razor continued to ask:

"Outside of the battle?"

Lindsey replied:

"Simple reconnaissance work is also up to the task."

Razor has a lot of responsibility on him, and after confirming what Lindsay can do, he prepares to leave.

Before leaving, he finally asked:

"By the way, I haven't asked you what your skills are......?"

Lindsey replied directly:

"I'll have some hunter's skills."

Razor's eyes lit up, and his steps stopped.

He remembered the previous encounter with the Monty Python attack.

Lindsay saw through the state of the python at a glance, and at this moment he said the skill of the hunter, and he chose to believe it almost without doubt:

"So, you're a ...... A guest in the forest? ”

Lindsey shook her head:

"Just a three-stage ordinary awakener."

Razor's expression was a little lost, but he immediately made a request:

"Mr. Drake, we have no problem with supplies at the moment. But just in case, could you lead a group into the forest for a hunt? ”

This kind of thing Lindsey naturally does not refuse:

"Of course you can, but it's best to arrange a few helpers for me, the Awakened is the best."

Razor fully agrees with Lindsay's request:

"Okay, this matter is urgent, I'll arrange for someone to come over and help immediately."

Explorers are resolute.

He turned around and continued to arrange his work, and communicated with the other Awakened Ones, who soon agreed with them.

Lindsay's next to Veconer witnessed the conversation.

At this moment he looked at Lindsay, his expression was both respectful and worried, after all, people knew the danger in the forest:

"Mr. Drake, the forest is too dangerous now, you still ......"

Lindsay shook her head and comforted in a steady tone:

"It's okay, I have some means of self-preservation."

"You stay in the camp. With the care of the awakened, there is basically no big trouble. ”

Vekner nodded, no more.

……

Although it was an expedition deep into the forest.

But excluding Lei Ze and the others, the other awakened people are only more than ten people.

Lindsay has demonstrated her knowledge of animals on the ship, which is considered to be recognized by others. He became a temporary captain and led the hunters into the forest.

Lindsey has a map and a compass, so she will never get lost in the Confused Forest, and her other abilities can also quickly find prey in the forest.

When you act together, the difficulty of hunting is not much different from usual.

The only thing that makes people nervous is the ever-changing forest around them.

They knew that there was danger, and they even saw it, but they couldn't confirm when it was attacked.

Psychological pressure does not distinguish between ordinary people and awakened people.

After a few hours, when her companions had taken with them a lot of prey, Lindsay decided to return to camp.

However, when they returned to the riverbank, they realized that something was wrong.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"Mr. Drake, there's a lot more people in the camp."

Behind Lindsay, an awakened person whispered a reminder.

Razor commanded the others to open the clearing, and the scene in the camp seemed to be in order.

But by the time they left, the number had doubled.

There are even a few more boats tethered to the river.

"Don't worry."

Lindsay nodded slightly, signaling the others not to panic.

A morning of hunting had already made these awakened trust Lindsay.

And in this case, the person who has mastered the hunting ability is also a vital presence in the team.

Lindsay glanced at the map.

After confirming that there were no dangerous red markers in the camp, he waved his hand and took the initiative to lead the people towards the camp:

"It's okay, they don't seem to have any malicious intent, let's go up and ask about the situation first."
