Chapter 30 What's the use of you saying it yourself!
"Why did you suddenly tell a horror story?" Lolo couldn't help but shivered.
"Uh, because the atmosphere is very suitable for telling horror stories?"
The quasi-magic master didn't know why he remembered this story.
Because Ryan is right by the Endless Trees Sea, there are many legends circulating in this mysterious forest. But what impressed Rob the most was the horror story called "The Bloody Night of the Castle".
This story was heard from Kenneth when he was a child. Although Mr. Knight always looks righteous on weekdays, this guy is an absolute fan of strange talks and likes to collect some messy legends of gods and monsters the most.
However, it is said that "Bloody Night of the Castle" has happened in history. The castle where the incident happened is not too far from the town and has been abandoned for hundreds of years. The priests in the town used this story to scare those naughty children, saying that there were resentful spirits wandering there and forbid them to get close, but in fact it was just because there were often wild mandarin ducks having sex there.
Rob and other friends had sneaked away, but only saw some ruins.
In short, after experiencing this kind of thing, no one dared to open up the endless sea of trees. Later, the Magicians Association also sent people to check the place, collected plant specimens along the way and took them back for careful study. But strangely, Rob had searched through the classics and found no subsequent text.
However, since then, no one dared to plant crops near the Endless Tree Sea. Everyone was worried that as time went by, the Endless Tree Sea would continue to expand and occupy the surrounding arable land. However, hundreds of years have passed, the Endless Tree Sea has maintained its original scale, neither growing nor decreasing, which is amazing.
It seems that there is a force controlling the entire forest in the dark.
Although the Endless Sea of Trees and the surrounding residents have been in peace for a long time, Ryan's children have been educated by their parents to stay away from the tall trees since childhood.
The strange plants in the endless sea of trees seem to have the ability to lose their sense of direction, and the more they go, the more serious this interference will be. All equipment used to distinguish directions will fail here one after another, which is why no one has ever arrived at the center of the forest.
Fortunately, the location of the dungeon is not too deep, and it is still only a periphery of the Endless Sea of Trees, otherwise the adventurers would have to stare at me.
In addition to those strange plants, there are other creatures living in the Endless Sea of Trees, such as the ground birds that once snatched the "dragon eggs" from the boys, the group of ravens flying over their heads, the human-faced spiders hiding in the deep caves, and some kind of giant cat animals.
The most dangerous among them is an insect called the tree bug. These little guys are not big, only the size of fingers, almost everywhere in the forest. They usually lie quietly on the trunks without moving, and are very close to the bark. If you don't look carefully, you will find it difficult to find it. Even if you notice them, they are easily deceived by their slender and weak appearance.
However, they are actually the most ferocious predators in the endless sea of trees.
During hunting, thousands of tree worms will come out together, and they can chew a buffalo in half a minute.
Please note that cleanliness here refers to the kind of cleanliness that do not even have bones left. Their mouthparts are extremely hard and even the essence iron can be bitten off. All the creatures living in the endless sea of trees are afraid of these cruel little guys.
Fortunately, this kind of bug has a very obvious weakness. They don’t like the smell of sandalwood, so as long as adventurers enter the endless sea of trees wear a small piece of sandalwood, they can usually successfully move themselves out of the tree bug recipe.
Fortunately, the frequency of predation of the treeworms is very low. After each predation, they will pretend to die on the tree trunk for two to three months, which is probably the source of their name.
In addition to the things mentioned above, there are other dangers hidden in the endless sea of trees. In short, once you enter here, you need to be vigilant.
Therefore, captain Hansen announced that he would rest on site, and the expedition team needed to solve the problem of supper before entering the sea of endless trees.
After receiving the instructions, the followers began to get busy, making fires and preparing dinner in an orderly manner.
The rest of the future Super Magician and his brave master stared at each other.
"Oh my God, you can't even make the simplest fire, right?" Lolo held his forehead with one hand and couldn't help but sigh.
"Uh, that's it... it's not very accurate. I just don't know how to use flint." Rob thought to himself, if you give me my staff, maybe I can light half of the endless sea of trees to show you the fireworks.
Lolo rolled his eyes, "What should I use to ignite fire without flint? Or do you have to be a real person who has never shown any appearance. You are a hero who has his own wild survival skills to drill wood to make fire?"
"I'm not." The young man admitted honestly.
"Brother, you are so useless, it's hard for me to do it." Lolo said sadly. The girl couldn't help but wonder if it was a complete mistake to ask this guy to be a follower. "Why not do this? What's the use of telling me yourself?"
"I can protect your safety at critical moments." The boy thought for a while.
"Yes, this proves that you can at least brag." Lolo didn't believe someone's nonsense at all, so he got up and started cooking on his own.
The dinner for two was very simple, with black bread with cheese and a bowl of thin rice porridge. The only advantage of the whole meal was that it was cheap.
Rob tried to bite the black bread that was harder than the armor on his body, and almost broke his teeth.
The quasi-magic was crying. Has he finally found a weapon? This thing can definitely make people open if you hit the head.
Rob has been a cool existence that has dominated the canteen of the Royal Magic Academy of Tist for ten years. He has never felt the suffering of the people so truly. He was obviously hungry and whistled, the future Super Magician stretched out his trembling hands and groped around the bread, but he couldn't find the place to mouth.
"Oh, are you a fool? You won't be soaked in the soup?" Lolo, who was beside him, couldn't stand it. She felt that she was stupid at times. The guy in front of her was even ten thousand times more stupid than her. How did such a guy grow up so big? From the moment he was born, more than a hundred young and beautiful maids always gathered around him to take care of his daily life?
