Chapter 48: Leading the way

Previous Chapter

The manic laughter made the atmosphere suddenly relaxed, and even the little monkey who had been trembling all the time clapped his hands happily.

Now that the golden toad's medicine bag has been recovered, it is time for everyone to continue on their way, so the snake king said to the maniac: "Brother manic, we have to continue to hurry, we can't stay here for a long time, we will have a period later." After saying that, everyone bowed collectively.

Seeing that Shangyuan and the others were about to resign, he said manically: "Since you are in a hurry, you will not be left behind by mania, but please forgive me for talking too much, can I ask, where are you going?"

Because Shangyuan and they were not on a secret mission, they did not hide it, and the snake king told them all about their intentions.

Manic listened quietly to the Serpent King's story, and when the Serpent King finished speaking, Manic asked, "Are you all going to the Thorn Forest?"

Everyone nodded and said, "Yes."

Mania lowered his head and thought for a while and said, "Please forgive mania for talking too much, I see...... Let's go back, everybody."

Hearing Mania say this, everyone was also taken aback.

Not to mention that everyone and mania have only known each other for a while, even people who have been friends for many years should not say this so bluntly.

Although they were surprised, the crowd was not angry. It's just that I was very puzzled, and I only heard the snake king ask: "Why did the manic brother say this"?

Manic said: "It's not that it's manic and unreasonable, it's just that you don't know, I have lived in this forest since I was born, and I have seen countless people go to the Thorn Forest, but ...... None of those who went to the Thorn Forest ever came out."

"Then why don't they come out?" Shangyuan asked.

Mania had already been observed, and Shangyuan was naïve and ignorant, so it was not strange for him to ask this question. just patiently replied: "I don't know the specific reason. It's just a guess that it's not that they don't come out, it's that they can't come out at all."

After listening to the manic explanation, Shang Yuan thought of the rumors about the Thorn Forest, and felt that the Thorn Forest was indeed a dangerous place.

In fact, people will not know the horror of the Thorn Forest. It's just that for the sake of the creatures of the Misty Valley, everyone is willing to risk their lives.

The Serpent King knew that mania was kind, but he still said to mania: "Manic brother, I know you are kind. But...... A few of us have already made up our minds, and I'm afraid we're going to live up to our brother's expectations."

Seeing what the Snake King said, the mania hurriedly said: "I really can't go, it's purgatory on earth, and there is no place to go back."

The snake king saw that mania was so true to his temperament, but he liked it a little, he smiled at mania and said: "It's okay, let's go and give it a try, if we can't come back, the manic brother is here to warn the descendants, if we are lucky enough to come back, then we should come and thank the manic brother."

Seeing that the Serpent King was so firm, he knew that it would be useless to persuade him further, so he had to sigh and say, "Well, since you have decided to go and give it a try, then I can't keep it, but ...... Mania wants to send everyone to the Thorn Forest, and please don't shirk it."

When the snake king heard this, he was naturally very happy, and immediately saluted: "Then thank you brother."

Mania waved his big paw and sighed helplessly......

If you want to say that the mania sends everyone to the Thorn Forest, the happiest person is Shangyuan. All the way he galloped, he sat on the back of an elephant. Although there are earthworms with her, the two of them can relieve each other's boredom, but it is inevitable that they will be bored after a long time.

As soon as this little monkey appeared, Shangyuan felt that he was extremely clever and wanted to play with him. Who knows that the adults have been talking about things, so that they haven't talked to the little monkey yet.

I thought that this was going to be separated, but who knew that the peak turned around, and they actually had to walk together. Shangyuan was very happy. Shangyuan is a person who has everything written on his face, and everyone sees his happiness. Manic smiled: "Why, this little brother, I want to give you a ride, are you so happy."

Shangyuan said happily: "I'm indifferently happy, I can finally play with this little monkey."

"Oh, so you want to play with him, hahahaha" manic hahahahahahaha

The snake king couldn't cry or laugh, and he said to Shangyuan: "When is it, I can't change this playful temperament."

Shangyuan coquettishly said to the snake king: "Oh, senior, isn't it that we haven't arrived in the thorn forest yet, let's take advantage of this time to relax and relax, so that we will be more energetic when we wait until the thorn forest, don't you say."

The Snake King pushed Shangyuan away and said, "Okay, okay, you can play...... You play...... Don't be spoiled with me."

The crowd burst into laughter again.

When the laughter stopped, the Serpent King said to Mania, "Brother Mania, it's getting late, let's hurry up, we must get to the edge of the Thorn Forest before dark, so that we can enter in time tomorrow morning."

"Yes, everyone, please come with me." With that, as soon as he exerted his strength, he jumped onto a nearby tree, exchanged arms and grabbed the branches, and moved forward quickly.

The crowd did not delay, and followed closely behind the manic, for fear of falling behind. To say that with the speed of everyone, it will never be able to catch up with mania, but at this moment, everyone can always follow mania, which shows that mania is waiting for everyone.

The little monkey did not climb the tree with the mania, but sat comfortably on the back of the elephant with Shangyuan and the earthworm. The three of them were noisy all the way, but they made everyone less lonely.

With Mania leading the way, the progress is indeed much smoother. After all, Mania has always lived here, so he is very familiar with every plant and tree here, and he has been leading everyone to walk in an easy place to walk, which is really helpful.

Even so, everyone did not dare to slow down at all, because they did not know how long the road ahead was, and why they had to hurry.

The crowd had been walking deeper into the forest, and as the trees grew taller and taller, the light shining through the leaves became less and less.

As the light in front of them became more and more dim, everyone finally rushed to the edge of the economic forest at sunset, led by mania.

But everyone is here, let alone sunset, and there is not even a little light left. Although it was not yet dark, from the outside, the inside of the thorn forest was pitch black, like thick ink that could not be dissolved.

But after a while, as the sun went down, a thick fog had risen in the thorn forest.

The mist seemed to freeze in the forest, and it was not even seen to drift around. It seems that this thorn forest is indeed very strange.

Seeing the fog in the thorn forest, the madness hurriedly said to the snake king: "Snake king, although this fog will not spread, I think it will still be unsafe if it is too close. I think...... Why don't we retreat to the forest for the time being, and come back tomorrow morning."

The Snake King nodded and said, "Well, that's exactly what I mean."

So the group retreated into the forest. However, even if it is retreated, it is only a few tens of meters, and for this pedestrian, this distance is just a blink of an eye.

Everyone was tired after a day of walking, and they didn't even have the strength to speak, and as soon as they stopped, they all fell asleep.
