Chapter 319: See the Scarlet Forest Again
The Martha Gria Canyon is high and unfathomable, with mountains on both sides, a total length of 1,800 miles, and there is no vacancy in between. The overlapping peaks cover the sky like a barrier. If it weren't until noon or midnight, the sun and moon would not be visible at all.
The white rapids, swirling with clear waves, and the turquoise pool water reflects the reflection of the mountains, rocks, forests, and trees.
There are many strange-shaped trees growing on the high mountains, and the hanging waterfalls rush in the rocky mountain streams, and the water is clear, the trees are glorious, the mountains are high, and the grass is abundant, which is really quite interesting.
Now there were nearly fifty people and elves gathered in this canyon, and a group of dozens of people flew in the sky and approached the depths of the Morokonais Mountains.
An Yi followed behind everyone, but at this time he was no longer in a hurry.
He was now able to sense the "demonic energy" floating in the air, and with this induction, he was completely able to break away from this team and go to the source of the "demonic energy" by himself. But now there is a group of good "laborers", and he is lazy, and then he feels that it is better to save some trouble......
At this point, they were now going to the very center of the Molocones Mountains, out of the valley of Marsa Gria, and after flying for several days, they finally saw a huge river. The raging river rolled away, leaving behind a loud rumbling sound that was earth-shattering and deafening. Godric and the others did not stop for half a minute, crossed the river, and in front of them was a large basin, and in the next ten days, dozens of people experienced swamps, forests, mountains, ponds, lakes, high ridges, hills and other terrain. An Yi also felt that the demonic energy around his body was getting heavier and heavier. Finally, on the twentieth day, the group arrived at their destination: the Sagneri Forest!
Sagneri is, of course, the language of this world, and the words translated into Chinese mean blood.
And this Sagneri is indeed called bloody. I saw that the forest was blood-red. All plants are a blood-red unknown thing. It's like the surface has been brushed with dried blood, which looks glamorous at first, but after looking at it for a long time, it will make people's scalp numb, and it feels extremely weird.
An Yi flew in the air, and as soon as he saw this forest, his heart jumped, and there was earth-shaking horror in his heart:
Most of the plants in the forest were tall and twisted, and there was a kind of shrub that was a man tall, and even spiraled like flames.
Under the bushes. Strange mushrooms can be seen growing along the terrain.
They look a bit like a combination of mushroom and moss, with large lilac coatings covering rocks or other plants, and this coat abruptly grows like an umbrella cover.
As for the rest, they are basically all about a dozen people tall ancient trees, tall and crooked, the bark is still dark red, and the lower part has no branches.
The trunk of the tree grows in a slight spiral arc to the air, and then suddenly bursts into large forks at a very high position, and the canopy is covered with purple-red oval broad leaves. The leaves are the size of a palm and have dark gray veins on them.
This broad-leaved tree is found throughout the forest. And the shape is almost identical, except for the difference in size, they are almost copy-pasted in the twisted amplitude of the trunk, the shape of the branches, and even the distribution of each branch.
On the ground, there are fallen leaves of such trees and other plant remains everywhere.
All plants grow according to the most natural laws, showing a primitive appearance that is rarely disturbed.
There was no sound in the woods, no birds, beasts, fish and insects were seen, and an evil aura permeated the woods, faint and silent, like a dead land.
...... How similar is this to the red forest of Nanzhan Buzhou?
No! It's exactly the same!!
An Yi's heart was shocked, and he looked at the qiΔ in front of him in shock, and his mind was full of thoughts, imagining what was the relationship between the two: was there something sealed under the bloody red forest in Nanzhan Buzhou?
Meanwhile.
Godric and the others were also in amazement.
With their knowledge and ability, they naturally do not have too many extraordinary features of this forest. But the demonic aura floating around them was like a substance, but they didn't dare to stop the rhythm of silently reciting the "Pure Heart Mantra".
Only Paul is better, perhaps because he has already started to practice the "Pure Heart Mantra", and his "Pure Heart Mantra" lasts a little longer than others, but he also needs to recite it every ten minutes.
Secondly, the elf queen insisted on it for a long time, which seems to be due to the elf queen's cultivation and the elven family's love of nature and peace, which makes the elf queen only half a point away from Paul, and it is enough to recite the "heart mantra" every ten minutes.
Everyone descended from the sky, and after a short silence, it was naturally Paul, as the "leading brother", who opened his mouth first.
He first looked into the depths of the forest, then took a deep breath, raised his hand and pointed to the depths and said: "This is our destination, there is a blood lake in the center of it, there are no animals in the forest, but whenever the divine punishment comes to the world and the demonic energy is filled, the sky above this forest cannot fly, so ...... Let's walk in now!"
Can't fly?
An Yi was puzzled, but Godric was already beckoning someone to step in. He thought about it: although there was indeed no blood lake in the forests of Nanzhan Buzhou, and he had not heard of divine punishment or anything like that, and he could fly, but at that time, there was no so-called "demonic qi" permeating, so it could also be explained. In addition, he saw that more than half of the dozens of people in the group had already walked in, so he didn't have anything to do and flew into the sky to see what the consequences of the flight were. Directly raised his legs and followed the large army in.
Now the group is still led by Paul, after all, he is the most "knowing" of all people. -- Even this knowledge is only passed down by word of mouth from the previous generation of popes, but it is better than anyone else.
According to Paul, there was no danger in this blood-red forest except for the stronger demonic aura, so the team basically walked side by side in twos and threes, and then formed a long line, looking for the path that had been stepped by generations of popes or brave people who had been here.
In fact, not everyone in this team is here for the great and noble idea of "saving the world". Some of them are for fame and profit, while others are simply afraid of death, after all, Paul also talked about it. People who don't have the "Pure Heart Mantra" no matter how high their cultivation is. It is also possible to be played to death by people under the madness of the heart. And agreed to come here, although it was closer to the source of danger. But with the help of the "Pure Heart Mantra" and so many "fellow practitioners", there is still some hope on the outside than on the outside.
The group did not go very quickly, and although Paul said that there was no danger here, no one was sure that there would be any accidents, so they all exercised due caution.
Everyone remained silent, concentrating on the "mantra of purity", and even Paul did not dare to slack off.
They had walked twenty miles inward, but they still hadn't reached the heart of the Scarlet Forest.
I was walking when suddenly. A dragon's roar was heard ahead.
"Roarβ"
The sound dust is billowing and the leaves are falling.
Everyone was shocked by the pain in their eardrums, and they looked at each other in horror. Godric's face was solemn and said, "How can there be a dragon here?"
Paul's eyes flashed with suspicion, he pondered for a moment, shook his head, and said, "I don't know about this, but ...... Let's go check it out. In the legend handed down by the Holy See, there was no time when a dragon appeared...... It may have been an accident, but it was more likely to be an accident!"
His Excellency Paul is right. The elven queen looked at the direction from which the voice came, closed her eyes and sensed it in a way peculiar to elves for a moment, and said, "The woods here have a special property. I can't get communication with them. But if there is more change than no change based on the previous explorations in history...... Maybe it's still a good thing. β
When everyone heard this, they thought about it carefully. Now it's really that reasonable.
The first few search probes didn't change at all, so nothing came of it. And this time there was a change, although it may have been just a dragon that had strayed in, but a change meant that there was a turnaround, everyone exchanged ideas for a while, most of them felt the need to go and have a look, and the minority obeyed the majority, and walked towards the place where the roar came.
The roar was to the northwest, and the center of the forest was due north.
Everyone was not afraid to go far away, and walked for two thousand meters, and in addition to the occasional roar, there was also the sound of trees falling and magic exploding.
Everyone's hearts tightened, and they secretly said: That dragon is afraid that something is fighting.
But there are so many of them, naturally they will not be afraid that they will not be able to defeat "them", so they will not stop at all and continue to move forward.
After another kilometer, the sound grew louder and louder, and even the earth trembled a little, and there were loud roars, crackling sounds, and the sound of trees breaking, as if they were experiencing an extremely fierce fight. But at this time, everyone gradually realized that something was wrong. Because no matter how fierce the roar is, it is only the dragon's. And even the magic fluctuations, there is only one side.
The crowd looked at each other suspiciously, and by this time they had come closer, Paul took a deep breath, made a "stand by" gesture to everyone, and then, together with the elven queen, quietly walked up a dirt slope in front of him.
An Yi looked left and right, and saw that everyone was waiting in place, hehe smiled, and followed quietly after.
Behind the dirt slope was a dilapidated sight, with broken trees, pitch-black earth, and burning smoke filling the clearing. And in this clearing, there is only a golden dragon, angrily attacking all around. Or flap your wings, or flick your tail, or spit fireballs, or apply some holy light healing to yourself......
However, there is no half enemy on the other side of it!
The Elven Queen frowned, and was about to speak, while Paul whispered at this time: "It's controlled by the demonic qi." β
"Huh?" the Elven Queen turned her head softly.
Paul said: "This dragon has obviously been invaded by demonic energy, this kind of thing has been born before, and it is rumored that after being completely invaded by demonic energy, all kinds of illusions will be born in the mind, so that people can distinguish between friend and foe......"
"So what do we do now?" said the Elven Queen.
Paul muttered, "Go back and consult with them to see if you can save it." β
"It's fine. The Elven Queen nodded in agreement, and the two of them returned at the same time.
An Yi looked at the dragon, and a look of doubt flashed in his eyes. (To be continued!)
