Passing through the gap in the "Lizard Teeth", the scenery behind is no different from the previous one.

The thick and dense fir trees are still everywhere, and the bleak sunlight is scattered by the fog, making the entire forest always in a haze and gray state.

Fortunately, the distance between each fir tree is large enough, otherwise, if the sun is double shaded by the shade and fog, only spots will fall into the forest, so whether it is day or night, the entire forest will be lost. ruled by the dark night.

On the third day, after getting a fairly adequate rest, Barrett and his group set off again to continue their adventure.

It was a relatively dull day. Except for being blocked by a few scavengers three or four meters long, everything went smoothly. Of course, these large caterpillar-like monsters with a huge mouth with sharp teeth and tentacles around the edge were not specifically aimed at them from the middle of the woodland.

They are just eating, and they don't look very polite, but you can't ask the scavengers to use knives and forks, and even lift their little fingers gracefully. Oh sorry, they don't have fingers.

These ugly monsters were surrounded by an unidentified corpse that was half a circle larger than a fully-armed ogre, gurgling and eating happily. After discovering that Barret and the others were approaching, the carrion beasts did not wriggle half a step from the corpse.

Only one scavenger, a little bigger than the others, raised its head lazily from the remains of the corpse, and opened its mouth at Barrett and the others in a demonstrative manner, as if to say, "Hey, get out of here. Come on, don't make me unhappy!"

Barrett and his party did not choose to fight, but continued to move forward after a long arc. Although Old Will only needs to use a fireball technique, it is estimated that most of these strange monsters who just get together can be eliminated, but these scavengers who specialize in eating dead corpses or carrion have little economic value.

Adventurers will not do such laborious but unprofitable things.

The barbarian took the 'dirty novel' and everyone used the time of the afternoon to travel about 10 kilometers. Barrett estimates that at the current speed, if they are lucky, they should find something on the fifth day; and if luck does not plan to favor them, perhaps they should start preparing to go to the permafrost tundra in half a month.

This kind of travel speed is normal in the forest. After all, adventurers do not aim to hurry in the forest. They often stay in the same place for a long time, suddenly left and right, even backward, or suddenly disappear.

……

If the 'Dirty Novel' and his party want to find the traces of the frost worm, they should go deeper into the forest. But Barrett didn't dare to go too fast, after all, this is the foggy forest. Even if all other strange, dangerous, and unpredictable factors are excluded, it is not easy to identify the direction in this foggy forest and the scenery is quite similar.

The barbarian often needs to stop and observe the surrounding environment - check the grass and trees near a stone, study the bark of a fir tree, and even pick a few leaves from a certain tree and put it in his mouth to chew...

In short, this is really a technical job.

Barrett knew that if he left secretly, most of the 'Dirty Novels' group would never be able to get out of this forest. In that case, he successfully became a 'feeder' once again. If the forest is really conscious, will it reward him for it? With what reward?

A statue of fir?

When Manzi thought of this, his expression suddenly fell into a trance. The next moment, he was shocked by his own strange thought and broke into a cold sweat. The next moment, Barrett took a deep breath and quickly expelled this inexplicable thought from his mind.

However, once there is a mage in the team, there will be exceptions to everything. If Old Will, a wandering mage, has enough magic knowledge to build a teleportation circle by himself, and he carries enough magic stones with him that can satisfy the operation of the circle. Then not only can the foggy forest not trap him, he can even teleport back to the Muya city-state from any place on the continent, or any branch of the Magic Association, as long as he knows the coordinates.

"Have you heard that a man was eaten by his own stomach?" Old Will said to the crowd. This is an old man who likes to chat, like to talk, and more like to listen.

"It shouldn't be very likely." Estelle chopped off a thorny bush with an elf long sword, and then waved off a few dead leaves that fell on the top of his head, "Could this person's stomach come out of his own mouth? Jump out? Then wrap your body in again?"

"It's not that troublesome." Old Will replied, he straightened his robe that was hanging from the branches, "that person is a follower of the Sarin sect, the sect that believes in the devil and everyone in it is not very normal. ."

"There is no one who can cause trouble more than the people of this sect." The half-elf said in a disdainful tone, "Oh, no, and those mages of the Arcane Truth Society... Sorry, you continue to say."

Barrett knew about the Sarin sect, and heard that the fifth king of Nord, Larsen II, was bewitched by this sect. Most of the bizarre and bizarre tragedies circulating in people's mouths also have the shadow of this sect. As for the Arcane Truth Society, he has also heard of it. It was a mage organization different from the Magic Association.

When the thousand-year-old magic empire collapsed, the Magic Association grew up from the corpse of the empire as the eldest son and inherited most of the empire's heritage. At the same time, many mage organizations with different concepts from the Association are also quietly emerging, and the Arcane Truth Society is one of the more famous ones.

"In the communication or transaction with the devil, for some reason, this person seems to annoy the devil." Old Will continued his story, "You know, those evil guys are very good at cursing and torturing. The devils separated the man's stomach from his body and turned it into a separate entity that is not controlled by the body. I have to say, even judging by the thinking of a mage, this is a very creative idea "Old Will said with admiration, "Becoming an independent individual 'stomach' rampages in his body, using his natural digestive ability to devour recklessly, we all know that eating is the most primitive instinct of living things..."

"The legendary mage Quinton said that reproduction is..."

"Oh, my good Estelle, this debate should be left to those high-level or legendary mages~www.readwn.com~ Old Will smiled and waved his hand, not wanting to argue." It is said that the whole process continued It's been almost a week, but no one has found it. After all, if the believers of the Sarin sect who are not in their right minds want to communicate with the devil or hold sacrifice rituals, they must always find a place off the beaten track. "

"Then how was this guy discovered?"

"The depraved breath overflowing from the devils polluted the surrounding land and plants, attracting the attention of nearby residents. The terrified villagers reported the incident to their lords, who in turn notified the branch of the Magic Association. So far, this The incident was traced back by the magistrate of the branch. I heard that the peculiar 'stomach' is still preserved in an exhibition hall of the association, and that person's soul is estimated to have 'got his wish'. into the hands of some devil."

It's not a good topic, not a good topic about the devil, thought Barrett. Like Larsen II, the devil has always made people insane, irrational, crazy and unpredictable.

"This is what it deserves!" The half-elf's tone revealed a hint of grimness, "I heard that this Sarin sect has existed since the magic empire was not yet established. The mages of the empire fought against the gods, suppressing all beliefs and countless religions. All turned into dust, and this evil sect can still continue to this day, I have to say that no matter whether it is chaos or peace, there are never few ignorant people in any period!"

"It's not just because of ignorance, but also greed, hatred, loneliness, and even yearning for beauty. Yes, that kind of yearning for beauty, but the feeling of powerlessness that cannot be grasped. People suffer from all kinds of Troubled by desires, blurring right and wrong, not arguing advance and retreat, even mage is no exception." Old Will said lightly.
