Volume 4: The Cataclysm Chapter 41 Whispering Dryad
Marvin turned around suddenly, but saw that the open space behind him was empty.
That strange voice seemed to come out of nowhere.
"who?"
He asked loudly, his hands already on the scimitar.
His eyes were full of vigilance. When the other party spoke just now, he didn't even sense anything.
But then there was silence.
The previous voice never appeared again.
Marvin carefully checked the data panel and found that there was no test .
That sound objectively exists, but it is a little weird.
Marvin snorted coldly, and without caring about anything else, he went straight into the logging forest.
He was not so timid that he would not dare to enter the forest after being scared by others.
…
There was darkness in the forest.
Compared to the Thousand Leaves Forest, the trees in the logging forest appear taller.
But unlike the lush and vibrant feeling of the forest where the elves live, the trees in the entire logging forest appear tall and somewhat deformed.
The wrinkled bark looks like the faces of old people, weird and cold, making people feel extremely uncomfortable.
I don't know how the loggers work in such an environment.
Marvin knew nothing about this forest. In fact, in many intelligence agencies' risk ratings, the logging forest was on the same level as the wilderness, even one level higher than the dead zone.
So he was still very cautious, and at first he went upstream along the river.
There are many abandoned logging sites on both sides of the river. After all, this is where loggers often work, so there can't be much danger.
Otherwise, ordinary humans would not be able to survive here for a long time.
The only thing that annoyed Marvin was that the forest was endless and the breadcrumbs disappeared at the entrance of the forest, making it extremely difficult to track the butterfly.
He went up the river, encountering a few scattered humans along the way - all of them were lumberjacks whose minds had been corrupted by the magic of chaos.
Marvin showed no mercy to them.
This world is so cruel. If they can't survive, they will become monsters. If they are allowed to wander around here, they will only cause greater harm to others.
Marvin traveled quickly along the way, and finally, he found a strange comb next to a logging camp.
"The elf's comb."
The comb was placed on a rock between the logging camp and the river, very conspicuous.
Obviously, this was a signal that Die stayed on purpose.
Perhaps she had run out of breadcrumbs and had to find another way for Marvin to track her down.
"She knew I was going up the river..."
"She left behind crumbs and combs along the way, which proves that she was still clear-headed when she did these things."
"What on earth does this guy want to do?"
However, no matter what, now that he had obtained the marker, Marvin finally had a direction to continue tracking.
The next second, he started the night tracking without hesitation.
Sure enough, the thin red line in the field of vision pointed directly to the depths of the forest.
This time, Marvin had to leave the river and go deeper into the forest.
According to the night tracking, Die should be not far away.
What is she doing?
The answer may soon be revealed.
However, when Marvin was about to enter the depths of the forest, the sinister voice sounded again:
"If I were you, I wouldn't be misled by others."
"This forest is a dead place. Many loggers have died here, but people outside don't know about it."
"The Alliance only sees this place as a place to make money, but doesn't care about the lives of the people. Believe me, if you go in, you will die."
Marvin turned suddenly and looked around.
Still no one!
"Who are you?" Marvin asked in a deep voice.
On the surface , he did not make any moves, but secretly, he had already activated [Sensing the Earth]!
The next second, vivid creatures appeared in Marvin's mind.
He could feel the salmon swimming in the river, the crabs running rampant across the riverbank, the floating weeds... and the hideous-looking trees!
In an instant, he seemed to understand something.
Although the voice did not speak again, Marvin's eyes were already locked on the other person!
That was an extremely ugly tree!
"I thought it was something..."
Marvin sneered and said, "It turned out to be the Whispering Tree Spirit."
The other party remained silent.
But all this is no longer important. Marvin has figured out the source of the sound and will naturally not be disturbed by them.
In fact, the Whispering Dryad is not a natural creature. It is said to be a creature created by the evil dragon Tithomas, the second lord of the evil spirit world today, using magic, curses and dryads.
The Whispering Dryad has no offensive power, he can only scare you.
This kind of creature is rare in Fenan, but I didn't expect to see so many of them in the logging forest.
I guess the rumors about the devil were created by these tree spirits.
Since Marvin was the master of the dark night, the other party naturally had no way of doing anything to him and could only continue to use intimidation.
It's their instinct.
However, if we use reverse thinking, we can't help but think that no matter who planted these whispering tree spirits here, there must be a very important secret in this forest.
A secret that cannot be told.
Marvin's curiosity suddenly intensified.
He ignored the whispering tree spirit's words and rushed directly into the forest.
…
The dark forest may seem uncomfortable to others.
But for the Lord of the Night and the Night Walkers, it is like a fish in water.
Marvin's speed was not affected by the terrain at all.
After running frantically for an hour , Marvin finally approached his goal.
"This guy can really run."
Marvin made a rough estimate and concluded that he had definitely gone deep into the logging forest. This area should be the core of the logging forest.
What on earth is Die doing here?
With this mentality, Marvin continued to move forward.
A gap appeared in the bushes not far away.
Marvin passed lightly.
The next second, a ruin covered by tree branches appeared in front of Marvin.
He was stunned for a moment.
Pieces of ancient inscriptions were scattered around the edge of the ruins.
One after another, ancient and unfamiliar symbols appeared before Marvin's eyes.
In the center of the ruins, a broken altar seems to be telling the vicissitudes of time.
"This is……"
“This is a temple!”
Marvin suddenly felt a little dry in the mouth.
The logging forest, the five-colored dragon, the temple in the ruins...
All of this seemed familiar to him.
"Is it really the [Wrath of the Dragon God]?"
He said silently in his heart: "Then, this ruin is not only the temple of the Five-Colored Dragon God, but also his burial place..."
At this moment, a hand suddenly patted his shoulder!
