Chapter 40: The Knife Appears

I don't know if it's because of the perennial fog in the forest, although the vegetation in the fog forest is lush but not lush, most of them have some gray-black color, dull and decaying, as if abandoned by the whole world.

The perennial misty fog in the outer area presents a cloud of smoke above the blue sky and white, and when you look at it from afar, you always feel that this deep mountain forest is particularly hazy and mysterious.

But the deeper you go, as the haze becomes more and more violent, the haze near the central zone turns a suffocating gray, and against the dark trees, it escapes the dead silence of the realm of the dead.

The West Moon Fog Forest sounds like a beautiful name, but in fact it is a place that is difficult to associate with the words fresh and beautiful.

Many of the creatures who have lived in this forest for generations are covered in colorful colors, such as wearing brilliant clothes.

This is a color of warning and intimidation that has evolved to protect itself in a hostile environment, and of course there are those who do the opposite, using every part of their body to hide themselves.

A rugged rocky mountain that can only be regarded as a medium height in the outside world is particularly tall in the fog forest because of the layers of dense fog, and a small river flows quietly under the mountain.

An adult phantom wind wolf with a few cubs drinking water on the riverside, the silver fur of the phantom wind wolf will become extremely bright and bright when it reaches adulthood, and it will shine silver in the dim fog forest.

It's just that although they look beautiful, they are not elegant creatures.

There is no shortage of water in the fog forest, but there is still very little to drink, and many of them have become extremely toxic due to the toxins in the fog miasma.

Because of this, it is often very dangerous to be near these non-toxic water sources, and the adult female phantom wind wolf watches around vigilantly, guarding against the surprise attack of predators.

Several wolf cubs were happily drinking, and two of them were still playing in the shallow water of the river.

The she-wolf roared twice with some dissatisfaction, and was about to urge the children to hurry up and return to the wolf colony, but suddenly met the frightened eyes of the little wolf.

The originally calm river water suddenly surged, and the blood basin in the river water under the two little wolves opened widely, biting the two frightened little wolves fiercely, and the sharp teeth suddenly pierced the young body of the wolf cub.

The sand and rocks at the bottom of the river were stirred, and a giant crocodile with skin like a rock appeared in the muddy water, and the stone crocodile writhed and writhed into the distance with its newly hunted food.

The angry female phantom wind wolf roared, and her long bright silver hair exploded, and two wide wind blades blurted out, but the wind magic speed was more than enough, but the attack power was insufficient, and the effectiveness was halved when it met water, although the two wind blades broke through the water and hit the back of the fleeing stone crocodile, but it had no effect on the skin that was dense with strange stones.

On the banks of the river, only the reddened water and the howling she-wolf lingered on the bank.

Di Xue in the distance couldn't help but sigh when he saw this scene, the weak eat the strong, this is the law of survival in the fog forest.

Turning around and walking towards the mouth of a cave at the foot of the stone mountain not far behind him, he knew that he had to make a choice, the Phantom Wind Wolf was a rare social type of magical beast, and the wail of the she-wolf was calling for her companions, and this place would soon become very dangerous.

The vines around the cave are intertwined, and the height and width of the cave entrance are about three meters, which seems to be a small cave, and the small river in the fog forest flows slowly into it from here, and I don't know where it leads.

It is common to see such mysterious caves and crypts in the fog forest, most of which are naturally formed, and it is likely that some powerful magical beasts are inhabited in them.

Di Xue felt that Taylor might be looking for such a place to hide himself under serious injuries, but along the way, he also found a lot of similar caves and crypts, none of which were very deep, Di Xue investigated them one by one, and in the process, he did disturb a few low-level magical beasts, but he did not encounter intermediate or above magical beasts.

At this point in the search, Di Xue already had some doubts that Master Herris had taken Taylor from the fog forest, but the Brotherhood of Light never sent a magic signal.

Therefore, Di Xue needs to make a choice, whether to continue the search, or wait for the support of the Brotherhood of Light, after all, there is a lot of strength in numbers, and there is no point in him looking for it alone.

When he came to the recently discovered cave, he was hesitant to go in and explore.

Because he had never encountered a cave with water currents before, Di Xue had read countless books since he was a child, and he knew that under the seemingly calm water flow, there were probably turbulent undercurrents and rapid whirlpools, and if he was not careful, he would be swept into them, which was very dangerous.

Before Di Xue came to the cave, she planned to use a little magic to probe the situation inside the cave before making plans.

Taking a deep breath, his slender fingers made a strange magic gesture, and after a quick silent recite of a magic spell, a spot the size of a fingernail lit up on his left index finger.

The light points emitted a soft and dreamy light, illuminating Di Xue's blue eyes a little blurry, Di Xue flicked his fingers, and the light points on his fingertips flew towards the cave like a dandelion in spring.

It was a small lighting magic that didn't cost much mana, and Di Xue flew towards the interior of the cave with a spiritual will.

Moss grows on the bluestone, and under the soft light of the small light spots, the gurgling water reflects the sparkling waves, which makes the originally somewhat gloomy cave also become dreamy, but the strange and sharp screams from time to time in the depths of the cave still make people feel a little chilling.

Using illusion magic to bless his eyes with a spell that temporarily improves his eyesight, Di Xue's gaze swept over everything inside the cave, trying not to miss any clues.

Based on the strength of the spiritual willpower, the small light point flew extremely far under Di Xue's spiritual control, but there was nothing unusual in the cave except for those night elves who made a terrible and terrifying howl due to the fear of the unknown.

Sensing that the light point was flying too far and was about to get out of his control, Di Xue sighed lightly, thinking that there was nothing to gain, his mental mind moved, and the light element contained in the small light point burst out.

I saw that the small light spots that were staggering and flying in the cave suddenly exploded, but there was no attack power and impact power, only the light elements that were originally condensed by magic inside the light points burst out, and the passage in the cave suddenly became extremely bright.

The swimming fish under the water swam away in panic and fled into the distance, although the bright light of the moment was very dazzling, Di Xue was keenly aware of the fleeting reflection under the flowing water, and her heart became inexplicably excited.

A piercing and terrible whistling sound sounded continuously, a strong wind blew in the cave, and a large area of dense green dots like ghost fire passed through the lighting magic that had not yet dissipated and flew out of the mouth of the cave quickly, although Di Xue was excited, but he didn't want to fight against this large group of bats, and temporarily retreated to the side.

The group of bats, who lived in the dark cave all year round, were excited by the sudden burst of bright light, and flew away from the cave first, and for a while, the wind with black wings dancing at the mouth of the cave was whistling, and the piercing and ugly screams were endless, as if it had become an exit to hell on earth.

It took a while for me to calm down.

Without hesitation, Di Xue walked into the cave that had turned back into darkness, and her fingertips lit up again, searching carefully for something under the water.

The river was not very deep in the cave, and the current was very gentle, and it was not long before Di Xue noticed something that had previously emitted reflections.

Tremblingly, he picked up the throwing knife from the bottom of the water and wiped the sand and mud off it, and a Brotherhood of Light mark clearly appeared on the handle of the throwing knife.

He used the Origin Investigation Technique on the Flying Knife again, and Di Xue was sure that it was a hidden weapon left behind by Taylor.

The hand holding the flying knife became stronger and harder, the joints were a little white, and the sharp blade was about to cut through his skin, but Di Xue didn't notice it, just stared at the depths of the dark cave.

The previous big movement was just a fright of a group of bats that inhabited the cave, and Di Xue was sure that although the cave under the stone mountain looked deep and strange, it seemed to be a non-dangerous existence.

Even if there is, Di Xue, who found that Taylor might be in this cave, would have to break through even the Fire Sea Knife Mountain.

Taking out a man-tall mahogany magic wand from the spatial ring, Di Xue left a secret message for the members of the Brotherhood of Light at the entrance of the cave, and then resolutely walked towards the depths of the cave.

Soon, Di Xue's figure was engulfed in darkness, and the strange roar of several bats with green eyes could not be surrounded, and they had to disappear with the purple robe in the dark passage full of concave stone edges under the weak echo
