Chapter Forty-Eight: The Black Forest
The two of them quickly went ashore, and it was not pleasant to walk in the swamp, their clothes were covered with mud and water, and they desperately needed a place to rest. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
When they came to the shore, they wanted to find some dry branches to make a fire and remove the muddy water from their bodies, but as for the search for elixir ores, the two were not in a hurry at all.
They walked towards this gloomy forest, and for some reason, a trace of palpitations appeared in their hearts. On this isolated island, the fog was a little smaller than the swampy area, and as far as the eye could see, it was at least seven or eight feet away.
The mist was swirling, but on this dark tree, it did not feel like entering a fairyland, but released a trace of horror.
"This is..." Not long after stepping into the black forest, Su Yun's eyes stared at the bottom of a big tree, and he said with some surprise: "Poisonous Heart Grass!"
Except for these black trees, other plants in the forest are very scarce, and the petite white grass is very conspicuous, and it is found as soon as you step into the forest.
Su Yun stepped forward, squatted on the ground, summoned the flying sword, and carefully cut through the surrounding soil, pulling it out along with the roots.
Mu Chen watched from the sidelines, he didn't know anything about these herbs and the like, and he didn't know what they were for. Besides, this thing was discovered by Su Yun, and it was not easy for him to compete with Su Yun.
"Hey, I didn't expect to get a harvest just after I came in!" Su Yun showed a smile, wrapped it carefully, and said regretfully: "It's just a pity, this poisonous heart grass is only ten years old!"
The two men continued on their way, but they found no dry branches on the ground. Mu Chen frowned and looked up at the tops of those trees, but suddenly his face changed drastically, and he only felt his scalp tingle.
On the branches of these dark trees, there were many bats the size of palms, and when they looked at them from a distance, they thought they were leaves because of the fog, and only now did they notice that this might be the ghost-faced bat that the elder was talking about.
Su Yun looked at Mu Chen suspiciously, and followed his gaze to look up. When she saw this scene, if Mu Chen hadn't covered her mouth, I'm afraid she would have screamed.
The branches of the black wood were covered with dense ghost-faced bats, although they didn't seem to be moving, but with such a huge number, if they were alarmed, I was afraid that Mu Chen and the others would not be able to deal with it.
Just now, Su Yun had been paying attention to the ground in order to find the spirit grass and dry branches, if it hadn't been for Mu Chen's bored glance upward, I'm afraid they would have always thought that those were just leaves of black wood.
"Shhhhhhhh
"Hahaha, we're finally here!" The two had barely taken a few steps out when they heard a loud laugh from outside the Black Forest.
Mu Chen and the others stopped, and suddenly, there was a loud air crackling sound in the air, and countless bats were awakened by this loud laughter, all of them broke away from the trunk of the tree, let out a piercing hiss, and flew away in the direction from which the sound came.
In an instant, the fog at the top of the trees was blown away, and a palm-sized ghost-faced bat rose in the air, like a huge black curtain.
Mu Chen and the others stood in place in horror, not daring to move for half a minute, like wooden people. Seeing the dense black bats, both of them felt creepy.
"Ahh
"Oh no, run..."
"Ahh
For a moment, there was a terrified scream from outside the forest, and the hissing of the ghost-faced bat made people shudder. In just this moment, Mu Chen and the others were in a cold sweat, and when all the ghost-faced bats in mid-air flew outside, Mu Chen pulled Su Yun's sleeve and quickly ran towards the depths of the forest.
On the way to run, Su Yun secretly rejoiced. Fortunately, Mu Chen tried her best to prevent her from bringing those people with her at that time, otherwise she would inevitably fall into the siege of the countless number of bats.
This group of idiots is not just dragging their feet, they are simply harmful. It's time to laugh and express their joy!
The two of them slowed down and ran forward quickly, making as few noises as possible along the way. They occasionally looked up at the treetops, and still found a lot of ghost-faced bats that hadn't woken up yet.
These bats have very poor eyesight, but their sense of hearing is very sensitive, and if they wake them up, it will be difficult for Mu Chen and the others to escape their hunt.
The two of them ran for a long time, and they didn't dare to take a breath, they didn't know where they were now, only that they had gone very deep into this black forest. When they looked at the top of the tree again, the number of ghost-faced bats was significantly reduced, and it was no longer as dense as the periphery, and there were only a few scattered hanging on the trees.
They stopped, sat on the ground and gasped for breath, their bodies exhausted from the run, especially since they had been in the Black Mist Swamp, their nerves had been highly tense, and it was a heavy burden on both physical and mental strength.
"It's too dangerous here, we need to get out of here as soon as possible!" Mu Chen said as he leaned against a big tree and panted.
Mu Chen's actual situation was different from others, there was no need for him to come in and take risks, this was definitely not a place for him to stay for a long time, if it weren't for Su Yun's relationship, he wouldn't have entered the swamp at all.
He gasped a few times, felt better, and then looked at Su Yun on the side and complained unhappily: "I can't figure it out, are you full of food and have nothing to do, you have to go into this ghost place!
He did feel very angry, if it weren't for Su Yun watching him from the side, he would have been living a comfortable life in a safe place, and he wouldn't have to fall into this gloomy place where he didn't even have anything to eat.
Su Yun naturally understood the dissatisfaction in Mu Chen's heart, if she didn't have to bring Mu Chen in, with Mu Chen's attitude outside the swamp, it would never be possible to come in.
She didn't know how to answer, but whispered slightly apologetically, "I just want to experience the life of a normal disciple!"
The life of a normal disciple? Mu Chen looked at her in astonishment, and laughed angrily. He thought in his heart: That's right, for a person like you who has serious masochistic tendencies, you should live the life of a normal disciple, but not in this ghost place.
After a short rest, the two decided to move on. Outside the forest, there are countless ghost-faced bats guarding it, and it is obviously unwise to return now. Just now, both of them noticed that the further they went inside, the fewer the number of ghost-faced bats became, which meant that the further they went, the safer they might be.
If it's safe inside, they're all looking for something of value now that they're all in. Taking such a big risk, if you don't get any benefits, it is obviously not in line with Mu Chen's style!
"That's..." After walking for a while, Mu Chen raised his head and pointed ahead in amazement, surprised in disbelief.
They had already gone very deep into the black forest, this place was very strange, since entering this black forest, the further they went, the lighter the fog became.
In front of them, a huge iron tower stood in the mist, but the tower was shrouded in mist, looming, and the fog there became very thick again, and continued to spread around, as if the entire fog of the black fog swamp was emerging from that tower.
"One, two, three..." Su Yun counted silently in her heart, and suddenly her face changed in shock, and she blurted out in shock: "Thirty-six Heavy Town Demon Tower!"
