Chapter 181 Forest
the next day.
Fang Xian sat at the head of the long table, eating a breakfast that was somewhat luxurious for people in this world.
After all, after the catastrophe, food was in short supply, and the women and children in the camp could only eat two meals a day.
"What? My Lord, you are going to the City of Dawn?"
Zitao, who was peeling fruit for Fang Xian, was stunned.
"I've always heard of the Dawn Society, but I've never been there, so I feel a little disappointed."
Fang Xian glanced at the excited Bai Shi and Jia Wei and said, "So I'm going to take a look. Can you provide a map or a guide?"
"I… …"
Zi Tao asked excitedly, "Sir, can you bring everyone in our camp with you?"
"You know, this is impossible." Fang Xian shook his head and refused coldly.
He is not a saint.
"What's more... I'm not even sure about the dangers on the road. It might even lead to your destruction..."
The light in Zitao's eyes dimmed immediately. After thinking for a while, he replied, "I'll let Xiaoshu go with you. Although he is only in the first form, he is very sensible and obedient, and he is also very familiar with the nearby terrain."
"very good."
Fang Xian nodded.
…
Not long after, outside the camp.
A team consisting of Fang Xian, Bai Shi, Jia Wei, and Ashu emerged.
On the crude watchtower of the camp, there were some people seeing them off, and there was even envy in their eyes.
"Ashu, aren't you afraid?"
Bai Shi stuffed a candy in his hand and asked in a low voice.
"Born in a world like this, I might be killed by something strange at any time. I might as well give it my all. As long as I can reach the City of Dawn, I can live a good life. If I die on the road, I deserve it..."
Ashu is very open-minded.
"Very good, let's go then."
Fang Xian took one last look at the camp and said casually.
…
"To get to the City of Dawn , we must first pass through this Green Forest, and then cross the Tak Mountains... There are a total of seven confirmed territories of the Weird King along the way..."
Ah Shu opened a map and marked it with various paint pens, revealing a crooked and circuitous route: "It's impossible to go in a straight line. There are also requirements for the time and place of passing..."
This is to avoid some wandering weirdness.
"Is this map yours? You seem to have been studying this for a long time?"
Javi asked, rolling his eyes.
"Saving money silently and seizing the opportunity, this is my motto for survival." Ashu replied calmly.
"I don't understand……"
Bai Shi glanced at the map and felt a little dizzy at the complicated routes on it: "Is there no strange thing with the ability to teleport?"
He had seen this kind of strange item in his own world and knew that it was very convenient to use.
"First, teleportation-type strange objects are very precious. Second... it cannot safely pass through the territories of some strange kings, and it may get lost directly..."
Ashu replied calmly.
Those weird kings are probably the pinnacle of this kind of weird things. Not only can they manipulate space themselves, but they can also influence other weird things.
Without the same personal support, it would be easy to go wrong.
Fang Xian nodded: "Then, let's go to the forest first!"
"Before reaching the forest, we have to pass through the territory of a strange king... We have roughly figured out its rules. It will only kill people at certain times, so we must be quick!"
Ashu said in a heavy voice: "As for the Green Forest, it is a desolate place. None of our explorers have returned alive. They are the type that kill indiscriminately."
What the survivors fear the most is this kind of weirdness.
The law of indiscriminate killing, coupled with the status of the King of Weirdness, is a disaster for any camp that is not protected by the fourth-stage combat force.
"Let's go."
Shiraishi and Javi took a deep breath, knowing that the journey ahead would be very difficult.
Especially Bai Shi, who is most likely to die.
He was already preparing to gather the appropriate traits and advance to the first form along the way, giving himself a little power to protect himself.
…
Three days later.
Thanks to Ashu's knowledge of the strange things happening nearby, Fang Xian and his group safely arrived at the outskirts of a forest.
"At this point... I don't have any information at all."
Ashu's face was solemn.
Fang Xian looked at the forest not far away.
The green treetops formed a huge shadow that covered the sky, with dots of green light flashing back and forth, like a group of fireflies.
Although everything seemed harmonious and peaceful, Javi felt a little chilly.
After Ashu's repeated reminders, he certainly knew that this forest was simply a monster that devoured all life.
He was also one of the main culprits that hindered the relocation of the survivors' camp.
If Fang Xian hadn't led the team, Ashu would never want to go here even once.
"Daytime... Daytime seems to be the best time to enter the Green Forest ..."
Ashu looked at the sky and said.
The world seems to be always cloudy, with day and night differentiated only by the intensity of visible light.
Of course, for those who have become Extraordinary, there is not much difference between acting during the day and at night.
Green forest.
The surroundings were dark and there were no signs of small animals.
On the ground, there is a layer of green moss, and stepping on it gives you an indescribable feeling.
Ever since entering the forest, Javi felt something was very wrong.
It seemed as if there was always a dagger pointed at the back of his neck, and every cell in his body was smelling of danger.
"Something is wrong... something is very wrong..."
Shiraishi muttered to himself.
"I feel fine..."
Fang Xian touched his forehead and didn't feel anything too dangerous.
Ah Shu, however, quietly moved closer to him, knowing that among the three, Javi was a first-form warrior like him, and Bai Shi was not even as good as him. If anything really happened, he could only rely on the protection of Fang Xian, a big man who was as weird as a king.
"How long will it take to get out of this forest?"
Javi asked.
He was afraid that if he continued to be in this high-pressure state, he would not be able to bear it and would suffer a mental breakdown sooner or later.
"I don't know... This forest will expand strangely... And our speed... is hard to calculate..." Ashu shook his head.
At this moment, Bai Shi suddenly felt a little warmth falling from his nose.
He raised his hand and wiped it, and found it was his own blood.
On his face, colorful particles grew rapidly, like plant...spores.
“Help…Help!”
Bai Shi suddenly shouted.
Javi was about to move when he found that his hands were covered with a layer of green hair without him knowing when, while Ashu next to him had a head of long fiery red hair.
"The strangeness in my body has been suppressed..."
'If I keep going like this, I might die!'
A thought came to Javi's mind.
"As expected... Shiraishi, you're the weakest... and the first one to get into trouble!"
At this time, Fang Xian let out a soft sigh, and a layer of illusory dream enveloped everyone.
Those spores, green hairs... shrank back quickly, as if they were just hallucinations.
This is using the power of dreams to distort the boundaries between reality and illusion.
"This forest... Anyone who comes in below the King of Weirdness will surely die!" Fang Xian muttered to himself after learning some information.
