Chapter 4 Crisis

"It's not a ghost wall, it's time that has stopped here."

Selsi refuted her statement.

At first glance, everything around seemed normal. Selsi took out her knife and marked a nearby tree, but the mark disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"The trunk was intact at a certain moment before, so it will only remain in this state. How is your memory?"

Selsi put away the knife and turned to ask Belingar.

"It's okay."

"Okay, remember the shape of this tree."

Selsi's inexplicable words made Tarasha frown.

Before she could react, Selsi ran forward, and Tarasha subconsciously raised her feet to follow.

After running a distance, Selsi stopped. She pointed to the tree next to her, "Look, is this the same tree as before?"

Tarasha looked and saw that it was.

She watched Selsi ponder for a moment and ran forward again, but whenever she looked around, she would see Selsi leaning against the tree and looking at her, and when she didn't distinguish the surroundings, she seemed to be running forward all the time.

Before she ran out of energy, she stopped.

"Enter the Oblivion Forest, lose your way, and the time loop twists and wriggles in it." Selsi remembered the ballad, but why did she, a person blessed by the soul guardian, also fall for it?

She glanced at Tarasha obscurely. At this time, Tarasha was thinking about how to get out. "Is it because of her involvement?" She guessed in her heart.

The Oblivion Forest will not allow anyone to take out the secrets here. If the blessed person insists on helping, it will also be wiped out without hesitation.

Selsi told Belingar the content of the ballad, "Here, space and time are distorted. You walk in all directions while staying in the same place. You stay in the same place while you are no longer in the same place."

Very confusing logic.

"How did you solve this problem before?" Tarasha didn't know that she had a blessing, and only thought that she was very capable. She thought that the other party should be very familiar with this.

"I have never encountered such a thing before." Selsi avoided Tarasha's scrutinizing eyes and told the truth.

Tarasha naturally didn't believe it. She thought that Selsi was hiding something.

A discordant voice suddenly interrupted the suspicion of the two.

"Hiss-hiss-" the slippery crawling sound sounded behind them.

Whoosh, the two of them jumped away from their original position at the same time.

A bloody mouth fell from the sky and bit the place where they were just now. A giant python that was fifty meters long and as thick as four people raised its head unwillingly.

The giant python was very angry when it missed its target. It turned its head towards Tarasha, and its long snake nature kept spitting. Tarasha pulled out a dagger from her waist and held it in front of her chest in a defensive posture. Selsi took out the lyre and was ready to attack at any time.

None of the three moved first, and

they were deadlocked at this moment. The giant python moved first. It suddenly rushed towards Tarasha, and its huge mouth of the abyss was aimed at her face. The distance was too close. Tarasha hid in her own shadow, jumped out from the shadow of the giant snake reflected on the big tree, and stabbed one of the giant snake's eyes with a dagger.

The giant snake shook its head wildly in pain. Tarasha desperately held the dagger to prevent herself from falling off. She followed the force of the shaking head and inserted the dagger deeper and deeper.

Selsi played the lyre. The strong melody produced shock waves that stunned the shaking python and accidentally injured Tarasha who was standing on the back of the giant snake. Tarasha fell down holding the dagger.

The giant snake turned its head and wanted to bite her. It was about to die. Selsi played another melody, and the melody turned into a tangible steel wire that tightly wrapped around the snake's body. Selsi pulled the lyre back hard.

The sharp steel wire scratched deep and shallow scars on the snake's body. The snake's skin was very thick and could not be scratched, but the severe pain still deeply angered the python.

But the fierce snake just glanced at Selsi, as if afraid, and continued to attack Tarasha.

Tarasha was thrown to the ground and could not move for a while. Seeing the giant mouth falling from the sky, she thought she would die here, but she was unwilling to accept it. She had not yet avenged her.

She closed her eyes and waited for death to come, but what she waited for was a dizzy rolling.

She opened her eyes and found that Selsi was leaning on her. Just as she was about to speak, Selsi shook her head and signaled her to shut up.

Selsi was scared to death when she saw the giant snake rushing towards Tarasha. It flew over and rolled beside her.

At this time, Tarasha opened her eyes. She saw that the giant snake seemed to have lost its target and was looking for her everywhere, but the two were clearly in front of the giant snake.

Selsi also noticed this phenomenon. She thought that perhaps her breath covered Tarasha, allowing the giant python to judge that she was the only blessed person here.

The giant python is not like a dense forest, and it still has concerns about the soul guardian.

The snake spit out its tongue again and again, stretched out its body and climbed up the tree crown next to it.

Selsi looked around and found that the forest had returned to its normal state. She guessed that the sudden disappearance of Belingar's aura made it think that Belingar had died in the python's mouth.

She immediately got up from Tarasha and picked her up without waiting for Tarasha to speak.

She lowered her head and whispered in Tarasha's ear, "Some things are inconvenient to explain," and quickly left this place of trouble.

The python was left there, looking for its prey in a daze.

Tarasha's body froze. She had never had such close contact with people since she was a child. Selsi's voice brushed past her ears, and a wonderful feeling spread from her ears to her whole body, itchy and a little surprised.

I don't know if it was because of shyness or embarrassment, but half of her ears turned red quietly.

But neither of them noticed.

At this time, Tarasha calmed down and had the mind to think about why the python had not attacked Selsi? She wondered if Selsi had some artifact that was worth fearing, and thinking of what Selsi had said before, she wondered if there was a possibility of blessing.

It is said that some forbidden places have guardians. Some of them will drive out the safety of those who accidentally enter, while others will not care about their lives - basically they will not survive. But if you are lucky enough to accept their blessings, you can find unimaginable opportunities in the depths.

The blessing of the guardian of this forest, could this person be "her friend"...

While Tarasha was thinking, Selsie was also thinking, why did the forest judge that there were two people when she was walking with Tarasha before, but when she leaned on Tarasha, it judged that there was only one person?

But this question is destined to have no result.

No one can take the secret of the Forgotten Forest out.
