Chapter 23 The Misty Forest
Sam looked at Jenny's back and murmured to himself: "Sorry, Jenny, with His Highness's intelligence, how could she have imagined how we would guess? So she must have gone to the deepest part of the unknown. If I don't say that, you will definitely not leave, but it is my responsibility and mission to protect His Highness, and I must complete it."
Sam sighed and resolutely chased out to the deepest part of the ruins.
Locke ran farther and farther with Nana, and he felt that something was wrong here.
"Wait a minute! Nana, have you changed the map? The route of the middle level of the ruins you mentioned is actually going straight to the center of the ruins, right? The seemingly most dangerous central route is a middle level road, or even a road that can be exited from the ruins?"
"That's of course. Don't look at Uncle Sam and Aunt Jenny as rigid. The super-level high-level they can practice are not fools. And for their own tasks and honors, they don't care about their lives. How can they escape if they don't lie to them?"
Locke's complexion changed: "Nana, this is inside the ruins. We can't even win the spider monsters outside. Are you looking for death when you come here? Do you still remember your first failure? Or do you have a lot of shifting talismans to use?"
"I'm so timid, am I not afraid? What are you, a big man?" Nana said with dissatisfaction: "Don't worry! I have chosen the path and see where this is. The Mist Forest! This forest is full of fog, and there are no other dangers. No one can find it yet. Isn't this a natural holy place to escape?"
Bobby and Rose nodded seriously after hearing this. Locke was so angry that he said, "Nana! You also know that this is the Mist Forest. So far, no one who entered has come out. Do we also want to become one of the dead bones?"
Nana smiled and said, "That's all for fate. But it's too late for you to say anything now. Look behind, the high-level monster Fire Infin is staring at us? You can choose to turn into his feces, or you can choose to escape into the foggy forest and turn into a dead bone."
Locke looked back and saw a huge, somewhat like a crocodile on the earth. Suddenly, he crawled out of the bushes, like a pair of bells, and his green eyes were staring at them.
"Run!" Locke took the lead in rushing out to the Mist Forest without hesitation. Nana chuckled from behind and ran away. Bobby and Ross turned into wild boars and rhinos, carrying Slinda and rushed into the Mist Forest.
"Roar—" the Fire Infin beast screamed suddenly, and then chased after him. His weight was two, and his thick limbs stomped on the ground, making a pounding sound like a drum.
The monster's run was more than ten meters and quickly narrowed the distance with Locke and others. Locke and others' hearts were about to jump out, and they used their strength to rush towards the foggy forest.
The monster also felt that it might not be able to catch up with him. He suddenly grew up his mouth, and a sour and smelly gas inside was scattered. When the gas encountered the air, it quickly turned red, like a burning fireball.
When Locke was not good, he didn't care whether his summoning was effective. He activated the summoning skill as soon as he reached out. It was also the blessing of God. What came out was not the apprentice attack monster watermelon monster, but the mysterious umbrella monster.
As soon as the umbrella demon came out, the monster's attack slowed down a little. Locke and others leaped into the foggy forest with a bang.
"Boom!" It was not until this time that the flames in the monster's mouth spewed out, and a pillar of fire swept through the air. Locke and others quickly crawled on the ground, and even so, they felt a hot fire above their heads, as if they were about to be baked.
"Roar roar--" The monster let out a roar at the people in the foggy forest, and finally turned his head and left unwillingly.
Locke breathed a sigh of relief and carefully lit up the surrounding environment. The foggy forest was not scary, and there were towering trees several meters thick around him. Their branches penetrated into the sky, and their roots were like blue veins, deeply rooted in the earth.
There are many clovers under the big tree. Their growth is gratifying, much thicker and taller than the ones outside. It seems that they are not as tall as half a meter.
Although it is a foggy forest, there is only a faint white fog in the air, which does not affect people's sight.
Locke took a deep breath. The air in the forest was particularly fresh and a faint fragrance that looked like nectar, refreshing. The jade seal on his right hand seemed to like the environment here very much. He opened it automatically and desperately absorbed the surrounding fog.
Although there is no danger here and the environment is good, Locke still feels something is wrong. He was originally a person with a strong sense of direction, but once he came in, he felt like he had entered a chaotic sphere, and he could not tell the difference between the east, west, south and north at all.
Logically speaking, they are now on the edge of the foggy forest, and the scenery outside is also very clear, but after he walked a few steps outside, he felt that the distance was still so far.
"No need to try it. If the Mist Forest is so easy to get out, the Fire Inner Beast just now would have come in and eaten you. It is precisely because we know that there is no return here, so we have saved our lives."
Lock looked at Nana and said in wonder: "Nana, you are Your Princess! Why do I feel that you don't take your life seriously at all? You said that you are young and have a good family background and good talent, and it is the time when you are young and promising. Why do you have such a negative attitude towards life?"
Nana was slightly stunned and said, "Don't worry about my affairs. Once we enter the foggy forest, we may never be able to get out. Do you hate me very much?"
Lock looked at her and said, "Nana, although I don't know why, but I still hope you remember: life is only once, as long as you live, there will be hope. If you die, you will really have nothing.
I don’t need to resent you. I chose to come in the Misty Forest myself. And resentment has no effect, so we should actively find ways to face it."
"Locke, why are you like this? I brought you here, and you and your friends will die. Why don't you resent me? You fool! Dazed goose!"
"If I don't do anything, I will die. But if I do it, I will have a glimmer of chance. Nana should never complain about fairness or not. There is never absolute fairness in the world. It depends on whether you work hard."
"Work hard? Is it useful to work hard? I used to work harder than everyone else, but what's the use? I've been advancing to the intermediate level for a year, and there is still no movement at all; I'm just a joke the goddess has played for everyone."
Locke laughed and said, "Nana, don't complain, look at us. I became an awakened person at the age of 20, and Sling has not yet awakened yet. Bobby and Ross are still in the early stages, and they can't even control their emotions and strength.
Compared to us, what are you going to complain about? Even we didn’t give up, why should you give up? Bobby, Ross, tell Nana what is our goal?"
"Saint! Boss! We want to become saints!"
I don’t know if it was because of the sudden screams of the two that scared Nana, or their declarations were too shocking, but Nana was so scared that she couldn’t speak for a long time.
"You really don't know that the world is high and the earth is thick. I want to see why you can become saints." Nana found a reason for herself, and her mood suddenly improved a lot.
She shouted, "Wait for me." Then she quickly caught up with Locke and others, and everyone headed straight to the inside of the forest.
The danger of the foggy forest lies in a word of mystery; there are not many monsters in it, but it is really a good place to escape like what Nana said.
Locke carefully observed the canopy and the broken big trees, and wanted to distinguish the directions through these, but obviously he failed. The plants here seemed to violate the laws of nature, and there was no difference between the north and the south, and even the annual rings of the big trees could not be seen.
Nana saw Locke shaking her head and asked quickly: "How is it? Have you noticed anything?"
Locke smiled slightly, which made everyone feel very at ease. "Not yet, but there are four seasons in the sky and four directions in the earth. As long as we observe carefully, we can always find some clues."
"Observe carefully?" Slinda and others agreed, staring around with big eyes, looking around, and for a moment he looked confused.
"Clues?" Nana suddenly cheered: "I understand! I heard that there is a kind of monster living in this foggy forest - the holy unicorn. Some of them can even grow into prophet-level monsters when they become adults.
These unicorns are magicians of the Holy Light. Their unicorns can confuse other people's eyes and can also distinguish what their eyes cannot see.
Therefore, the Mist Forest is a forbidden zone for other creatures, but it is a paradise for unicorns. However, only the purest girls can see them and receive their blessings, so that they can have the power of the fire of their souls and see through the fog.
Do you mean let's look for traces of these unicorns?"
Locke smiled and said, "Look, there are not many ways to go out? So since there is a difficulty, there will definitely be a solution, right?"
Nana suddenly realized and nodded to Locke and said, "Thank you Locke! I will never give up again, now I want to go home!"
"Okay! Take action! To get home!" Locke clenched his fists heavily, and then everyone quickly started to act.
