Although there was a wind blowing from time to time, but this wind was also a warm wind, and within a moment, the rainstorm came as promised, thunder roared, lightning cracked the sky, and sparse large pieces of rain hit the dense branches and leaves of the black cloud tree, splashing countless splashes, as more and more water accumulated, countless branches fell, sending the rain to the ground, converging into a stream on the uneven land, surging in an unknown direction.

Thor scurried among the weeds and shrubs with a gloomy face, but the rain was too big, even if he was wearing a raincoat, the rain would still pour into the collar, the clothes inside had been completely soaked two hours ago, and his shoes were full of water, and he always made a clattering sound when he walked, and there was no normal road in the Black Forest, but it was okay on weekdays, but this rain, he couldn't tell where there were pits, which was flat, one foot deep and one foot shallow, and the muddy water splashed all over.

In the past, he wouldn't have come to this ghost place if he was killed, but today he only thinks he's unlucky, who let him lose the experimental specimen, and he wasn't disposed of on the spot It's already for the sake of the diligence of the past, as long as he can bring it back, everything can be treated as if he can't live......

Thor looked up at the sky along the cracks in the branches, and was immediately drenched in the rain, fortunately he had the foresight to leave a curse mark when he experimented, otherwise in this situation, ten thousand more people would not have to find the experiment from the rain-soaked Black Forest.

"What do you think!?I've only slept for less than half an hour before you messed up, if you let Mr. Xiu know, are you responsible for this matter or am I responsible!?Can you afford it!?" Wren walked in front of Thor, roughly slashing the branches that were in the way with his sword, he was extremely irritable, and just about to sleep and rest, such a big thing happened, if it wasn't for the fact that the two of them had a good relationship on weekdays, he really wanted to beat Thor hard.

"It's strange, it's that dose on weekdays, it never wakes up, why ...... today"

Thor tried to explain the situation, but Wren obviously didn't want to listen to these excuses, and he interrupted Thor angrily, "Then you tell me how it woke up? You must have gotten the wrong dose, or you used the wrong medicine, I don't care what the cause is, it's already happened anyway, don't talk nonsense, get it back, don't you know what place this is? This is the Black Forest! It's the border of the Void City! It's under the nose of the Star and Moon Council! Maybe there are still Rangers patrolling at this time, do you know what the consequences of being discovered by them are?" ”

"Alright! ”

Thor was still thinking about the reason for today's accident, but Wren's endless scolding made him also irritable, so he simply didn't think about it anymore, and used all his attention to sense the location of the experiment, although most of it was nonsense, but Wren had a sentence that was not wrong, the top priority was to bring it back, the longer the delay, the easier it was to have variables, which he didn't want to see.

According to Thor's induction, the test subject is still moving, but the speed is not fast, it just has no clear direction, and it has been wandering in circles, although I don't know for what reason, but at their current speed, it is not surprising that they can catch up with it in half an hour.

Wren paused, and before Thor could understand what was going on, he grabbed him by the collar and slammed it against the tree, and the rain mixed with the scattered branches and leaves drenched him, and there was a sharp pain in his back, "Is it your fault or mine?

The lightning tore through the sky, Wren's hideous and twisted face turned pale, even such a heavy rainstorm could not suppress his roar, Thor exhaled deeply, and whispered, "It's my fault, it's me who is too lax." ”

He needs to be calm, Wren also needs to be calm, there is no point in arguing at this time, how many monsters are lurking in the Black Forest, he knows better than the rangers in the Void City, Wren's roar just now has alarmed many monsters, if you continue to argue, I am afraid you don't know how to die.

Wren's anger gradually subsided with Thor's softening, he was silent for a long time after letting go of his hand, in this isolated place, he only has one friend from Thor, in addition to eating and sleeping is to conduct experiments, recording data every day, normal people's lives are simply extravagant in their eyes, without Mr. Xiu's permission, the range of activities is only that dim and damp basement, even the rangers are much happier than them, at least, they have a lot of friends, or enemies......

"I'm sorry, I ......"

"The voice is quite loud, just roar here, don't yell at me when you go back, in case of collapse, our years of research will be in vain, why are you stunned? I don't want to be treated as a supper, just leave quickly, catch it back first, and then you will have time to catch up on sleep." ”

Thor dusted off the leaves on his body, ignored Wren, and walked briskly to the southeast, the test stopped for some reason in his induction, but the signs of life did not weaken, it seems that he should not be in danger yet, maybe he was just hungry, and caught dinner and was enjoying it.

Although Thor changed the topic and still teased him as usual, there seemed to be an inexplicable estrangement between the two, and Wren faintly regretted his impulsiveness, even if this matter was indeed Thor's fault, even if this matter was related to the life and death of the two......

......

"Lord Deacon, this is the eighth time we've passed by this tree,"

Colin took out the dagger and carved a scratch on the black cloud tree in front of him, for the eighth time, this is a habit he has developed since he became a ranger, leaving some marks every fifty meters in the Black Forest, if the route is too complicated, he will even leave marks every ten meters, in case he gets lost in the Black Forest, for more than twenty years, relying on this seemingly simple habit, Colin has become the most familiar person in the Black Forest among the Rangers.

But tonight he got lost......

There was nothing wrong with the direction, and there was nothing wrong with every corner fork, but I don't know why, the six of them seemed to have fallen into some strange circle, and they kept going in circles all the time, so they walked for two hours without getting out of the Black Forest, and the strangest thing was that they had obviously used signal arrows before, and waited for half an hour at the meeting point, but the other three teams did not appear from beginning to end.

"It's very strange, since the direction is right, the route is also right, how can you not go out?"

Genos bent down and groped for a moment from a small muddy puddle, picked up a somewhat blackened silver coin, and his heart sank to the bottom, if the notch on the tree could still be misunderstood, this silver coin directly confirmed the fact that they were lost, lost in the Black Forest, for ordinary people, this is simply no difference from death, even an experienced ranger like Colin does not dare to guarantee that he will survive in the Black Forest for ten days.

"Rest for a while and eat something to regain your strength. ”

Brandon didn't believe it at first, he was very familiar with the route like Colin, and it was impossible for him to go wrong and get lost, but the fact gave him a slap in the face, no matter how they tried, they couldn't move forward, even if they retreated, they would return to this place, and if they continued to walk, they could only consume their physical strength in vain, although he and Colin could still hold on, but Genos and Yuren were obviously walking slower and slower, and if they went on like this, they would be tired in less than half an hour, but it would be a burden.

Genos is not hypocritical, regardless of the muddy water on the ground, sat down directly, wiped the rain off his face, took out two pieces of black bread from the bag on his waist, and stuffed them into his mouth without hesitation, usually have to soak in water to soak soft before swallowing, today is a trouble-free, already soft can not hold it, although the rainforest is sultry, but the rain is cold and abnormal, his body temperature drops quickly, his physical strength is almost consumed, his body is sore, especially the calves are hard and they are about to take a step, walking in the heavy rain and walking on the road is completely different, the Black Forest has no normal road at all, the height is unevenBecause of the stagnant water and light, he couldn't see the road clearly, and from time to time he would fall into deep pits, which was extremely physically exertional, and he was now in urgent need of food and rest.

Yuren was still holding on, but after Genos set an example, he was no longer reserved, and immediately found a tree to sit down, his self-esteem could not alleviate his hunger, nor could he recover his physical strength.

"I don't know the other direction, about 800 meters, but if we follow the mark, whether it's forward or backward, just walk 800 meters and we'll be back in this place. ”

After eight trips, of course Colin would not do nothing, he had been calculating the total length of this section of the road in his heart, eight attempts, about 1,500 to 2,000 steps, on average, it was almost 800 meters away, this distance did not sound far, if it was a flat and straight road, you could see the end at a glance, but in the Black Forest, let alone 800 meters, ten meters away would be completely blocked by grass and trees, not to mention that it was still raining.

"Eight hundred meters...... Weave the rope with the branches, and the four of you stay and pull the rope tightly, and Colin and I will go one more time. ”

Brandon pulled out his long sword, his movements were very fast, and he quickly cut down a bunch of slender branches, Colin, Giles and Austin immediately understood what Brandon meant, and immediately began to collect those tough and slender branches, Genos and Yuren were not idle, they filled their stomachs indiscriminately, and began to entangle these branches with each other.

If they were really going in circles, they only needed to walk one more time and connect the tail of the rope with the head together, and they would be able to roughly judge the extent of the circle, and then they would be able to get out of the direction of the rope, Brandon did not have this leisure and continued to wander around the Black Forest, and the other three teams had no news so far, it was impossible that they did not see the signal arrow, there were only two possibilities, first, they also encountered some kind of difficult problem to solve, or......
