Volume 1 Aquaman's Sigh Chapter 37 The Sorrow of the Monster
The endless darkness and dead silence finally dissipated, the cold moonlight flowed quietly among the flourishing canopies, the stars in the sky dotted the dark Tianhe like diamonds, the breeze in the mountains and forests carried the dew in the night, and when it blew on the face, there was a refreshing coolness, and the low chirp of wild beasts or birds was faintly heard in the depths of the dense forest in the distance, echoing faintly in the quiet atmosphere.
Sure enough, as Wren expected, the top of the tree in the Forest of Silence was the exit to the Eldas Mountains, just like the feeling of just entering the Forest of Death, the moment they reached the top of the forest, the vitality and breath that belonged to the original world were awakened in an instant, and everyone was already standing on a green grass in a trance.
The dead forest behind it still oozes a palpitating dead air, and the mountain forest in front of you looks extraordinarily vibrant, as far as the eye can see, flowers, green grass, ancient trees, and occasionally birds falling on the branches, small beasts shuttling through the forest, and some will even stop their bodies, curiously looking at Rennes and others who intrude in the distance, a small stream flows down from the winding peaks, and the craggy strange rocks are distributed on both sides of the stream.
"Looks like we're getting rid of the bones left. Arya let out a long sigh of relief, and her expression gradually softened, but there was still a faint palpitation in her bright eyes.
"Those bones may only be able to move within the range of the Forest of Silence, right?!" Vegis looked at the lifeless Black Forest behind him, it was obvious that the Legion of Bones did not break through the barrier and chase after him, "After passing through the Forest of Death, they can't do anything about us, but then again, is this the inside of the Eldas Mountains? It doesn't look much different from the ordinary primeval forest? Compared to the Forest of Death, it's more terrifying!"
"Don't be careless! The deeper you go, the more dangerous it gets, and the outermost layer of the Dead Forest is just a gateway to hell. It looks like a normal forest, but the threat lurks is not comparable to that of unconscious skeletons. Eisen raised his head and looked around vigilantly, the cold moonlight shining on his cold countenance, making his whole person look even more serious.
"Yes, yes, but even if we should be cautious, we should get a good night's sleep now, we still came in in broad daylight, and now it looks like it's late at night, right?What's more, we're not sure if this is the night or the day we entered the mountains.......?"
"The area we are in now is still on the outskirts of the mountain range, and there are also some low-level demonic beasts around, and the number of them is relatively sparse, as long as we don't take the initiative to provoke them, they shouldn't take the initiative to provoke us. Angela nodded at Eisen's inquiring gaze and said, "I think we can spend the night in a relatively secluded place nearby tonight." ”
"Alright, as Angela said, we'll head out into the mountains early tomorrow morning. ”
Late at night, the night sky is like a wash.
Eisen led the group to settle down in a secluded cave in the forest.
Wren lazily leaned against a huge rock outside the cavern, gazing out at the starry sky.
The stars are shining, bright and dazzling, and there is an occasional sound or two of birds chirping in the quiet forest, and the breeze blows, carrying the unique vitality and fragrance of the forest.
Wren inadvertently showed a faint smile, as if he was suddenly away from the hustle and bustle, away from strife, away from hatred, away from killing, returning to the world that only exists in dreams, his mind was extremely calm all of a sudden, and those memories and hatreds in his heart seemed to be deeply hidden in that moment.
Perhaps, many years ago, his mother wanted him to live like this, so she buried everything under the loess in the suburbs of Covetan with herself.
"That...... Aren't you asleep yet?" Angela also walked out of the cave slowly, and saw Wren smiling when she saw Wren lying on the boulder under the night sky, and said hello with some restraint.
"Oh, it's Angela, right?" Wren heard the voice and slowly turned his head to look at Angela, "You don't need to call me senior, you joined [Ice Wing] before me, I'll call you senior." ”
"That's not the case, Ren's predecessor is a very powerful character at first glance, Angela can't do anything, and she still needs everyone's protection in [Ice Wing], the title of senior is really not suitable for me. Angela bowed her head modestly.
"What's the matter, your unique talent for perceiving soul power in a wide range is simply like the eyes and ears of [Ice Wing], an indispensable and important part of [Ice Wing]!" Wren smiled slightly, indeed he thought so in his heart, and Wren did have a good impression of the well-behaved little girl in front of him.
"There is no such thing, I can only help a small favor, the strength of [Ice Wing] still depends mainly on the combat power of your predecessors. ”
"Speaking of which, can't you sleep too?" Wren asked curiously.
"Well, I always feel that the huge soul power in this mountain range is surging in the forest, and all kinds of emotions mixed with the soul power keep flashing in my mind. It's a little scary, as soon as I close my eyes, I seem to be able to see the scarlet picture, the roaring anger of the monsters, I really can't sleep!" Angela lowered her eyes and said with some sadness.
"Can you feel this? in this calm valley?" Wren stared at Angela incredulously, the world before his eyes seemed peaceful and harmonious, and he didn't feel the killing aura that Angela had said.
"Well, compared to the outer Forest of Dead Silence, the flow of soul power here is intricate, violent and ferocious, even if it is far away, I can clearly feel the emotions entrained in the flow of soul power of the demonic beasts. ”
"After all, the closer you get to the center of the mountain range, the more high-level demonic beasts will be, and the more frequent they will kill each other, right?" Wren said with a sigh.
"No, the killing and hatred are brought by humans, humans have watched this mountain range since ancient times, and the monsters hate humans, hate humans who have intruded into their realm, and hate humans who watch over their bodies. ”
"Human?" Wren suddenly remembered that when he first stepped into this forest, those low-level young demonic beasts looked at him, which was not curiosity, but more like hatred and fear.
"That's natural, although this place is sealed as a forbidden territory, but in the past 10,000 years, there are still many people who have set foot here, looking for treasures that are simply illusory, hunting demonic beasts, and transporting their corpses out for sale. Some people even list Warcraft as their advanced pedal, and hunt them to gain more strength and experience. Eisen also came out of the cave at some point, and said coldly, "So since ancient times, no matter where the demonic beasts are, they have hated and hated humans. Maybe one day, humanity will be wiped out by the demonic beasts devoured by hatred. ”
"That's also the fault of the human race, right?" Wren had a blank expression on his face.
"Perhaps!" replied as Eisen looked up at the starry sky.
