Chapter 2267 Entering the Deep Forest
With the guidance of Palisanya, they were able to move freely in the fog.
All the way to the end of the fog.
"In front of us is the core area of the Lost Forest."
Following Palisanya's words, Angel looked forward.
The core area of the Lost Forest is a circular ring forest centered on a low hill. There is no thick fog in this ring forest. Instead, like other places in the Green Forest, there is only a thin mist formed by natural forces, evenly distributed in the woods.
The sunset sun shines through the mist, giving the forest a soft golden edge.
The soft wind blows, making the leaves rustle, as if playing a hymn to the dusk.
Looking at this scene in front of him, Angel was also quite surprised. He never expected that after experiencing the gloomy ancient fog forest, he would eventually come to such a place that is like a paradise on earth.
While Angel was shocked by the scene in front of him, Palisanya was also looking at the forest in the glow ahead. Its eyes were very complicated, with both expectation and surprise, as well as fear and worry.
All kinds of complicated emotions eventually returned to the depths.
Then, Palisanya tremblingly raised a root, with an expectant look, trying to touch the long-lost sunlight ahead.
But just as the root passed through the mist and entered the ring forest, the terrifying pressure quickly hit. Even Palisanya, who had lived here before, was frightened by this pressure and quickly retracted the root.
"The aura of the adults has become stronger again." The oppressive feeling from the roots seemed to be engraved into its soul. Even though it had retracted the roots, its body still couldn't help trembling slightly.
Three hundred years ago, although Palisanya withdrew from the core of the Lost Forest, it just couldn't live there for a long time at that time. If it held on, it could walk freely in the core.
However, now, the pressure has risen by more than one level compared to three hundred years ago. In this kind of pressure, not to mention walking freely in the core, even stepping into it has become a luxury.
Palisanya turned to look at Angel, questioning: "Are you sure you can take me in?"
Angel also noticed that Palisanya had stretched out his roots before. Although he could not empathize with him, he could see the horror of the pressure from Palisanya's still trembling body.
In order to fool Palisanya, Angel said it very confidently. But now, seeing such a terrifying pressure, Angel is a little unsure.
He used the triangular space energy positioning method before and speculated that the pressure at the core of the Lost Forest was estimated to reach the peak of the second level of true knowledge, at most the level of the initial third level of true knowledge, which is about the same as the pressure level of mentor Sanders, or a level higher.
But now it seems that it is a bit underestimated.
Palisanya's strength is estimated to have reached the peak level of the first level of true knowledge. According to the basic energy rules, even if it faces the pressure of a third-level true knowledge wizard, it will not retreat in an instant.
But the facts are in front of us.
The pressure at the core of the Lost Forest may have far exceeded the level of the third-level true knowledge.
This also seems to indicate that Naimeicui's strength... may be unfathomable.
"Hmm?" Palisanya saw that Angel was silent for a long time and made a puzzled sound.
Angel was not calm in his heart, but in the face of Palisanya's doubts, he still pretended to be nothing: "Don't worry."
Palisanya was slightly relieved when he heard this answer. However, at this time, Angel added: "If I can't do it, then we will retreat, which is also what you want."
Palisanya turned his head suddenly: You didn't say that just now.
While it was still surprised that Angel's answer was so single, Angel took a step forward: "I'll try."
At this point, Palisanya couldn't stop Angel. Let Angel go through the fog and step into the core area.
Angel seemed relaxed, but in fact, all kinds of defensive forces had been opened to the limit. Ermi also quietly emerged from the shadows and opened a special force field to protect Angel.
At the moment when Angel walked out of the fog and stepped into the range of light.
The terrifying pressure came as expected.
Moreover, this pressure was different from the pressure Angel had experienced in the fog before. When in the fog, although the pressure was increasing as Angel went deeper, this improvement was an accumulation process, not achieved overnight.
But the pressure at the core of the Lost Forest was completely different. It directly jumped to a large level, just like being promoted from an apprentice to a formal wizard. The improvement was different from usual and was a fundamental qualitative change.
In this kind of pressure, even with Ermi's full protection, Angel felt unprecedented oppression.
This kind of pressure made Angel feel as if he was not facing pressure, but a whole mountain and sea hanging upside down above his head.
Compared with such pressure, a single individual seemed insignificant.
Angel was now very sure that if it were not for Ermi's force field, he would have been injured and fell to the ground when facing such pressure. Moreover, Ermi's force field could not completely block the pressure, and Angel himself also bore part of it. Although the reduced pressure was still terrifying, it at least did not make it show its weakness.
However, Angel also sensed that even Ermi could not last too long in this kind of pressure. Ermi's warning energy was getting weaker and weaker, and the force field could only last for three to five minutes at most, and the force field could not be expanded.
That is to say, even if Ermi activated the force field with all his strength, it would only be enough for Angel to support himself, and it would not allow Palisana to enjoy protection.
Since Angel promised to enter the core of the Lost Forest with Palisana, he would not break his promise.
Facing such pressure, Angel actually has another way to deal with it.
The "domain field" of the right eye!
Angel had experienced many teaching battles with Sanders. During the battles, Sanders would often activate the pressure to interfere with Angel, and every interference was accurate. Later, Angel activated the green veins on his right eye, and under the effect of the domain field, he could completely ignore Sanders' pressure.
At that time, Angel knew that the domain field could block the pressure.
Later, at the feast in the Star Pool Ruins, before the Dalmatian arrived, Angel also relieved the pressure of the Boiling Gentleman through the domain field of his right eye.
So, Angel felt that the domain field should be useful.
However, Angel could not determine the limit of the domain field to resist the pressure.
It would be best if we could resist the pressure of the Lost Forest. If we cannot resist it completely, we should be able to alleviate some of it. Then, it would be easy for Ermi to open the force field again... The worst result is that we cannot resist it at all. Then Angell can only give up and wait for the Savage Cave to enter the Tidal Realm before trying to regain the ground.
When Angell thought about this, the green veins hidden deep in his pupils had been activated by Angell.
The dense green veins were jumping happily near his right eye.
In just a moment, Angell's right eye began to emit a faint green light. With the appearance of the green light, Angell's domain field, which had been deposited for a long time in recent times, was finally activated.
After the domain field was activated, Angell immediately felt that the pressure weakened by Ermi's force field disappeared directly.
"It works." Angell was delighted and slightly expanded the range of the invisible domain field.
At this time, the range of the domain field was larger than the protective force field opened by Ermi.
After doing all this, Angell secretly contacted Ermi. Want to ask about Ermi's current situation.
Ermi's feedback was also concise and clear: the force field pressure it was under disappeared.
This means that the domain field completely bears the pressure and completely blocks the negative effects of the pressure.
At this time, Angel finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He put away his expression that was slightly fluctuating due to emotional fluctuations, turned around, pretended nothing happened, and said to Palisanya lightly: "Let's go."
...
A few minutes later, Palisanya walked in the familiar sunshine, still a little dazed.
How did this human do it? Palisanya was sure that he was walking in the depths of the Lost Forest, but he didn't feel the pressure at all.
It was as if the pressure itself did not exist.
It couldn't help but look back at Angel.
Angel looked no different from before, and it didn't sense that there was any elemental energy fluctuation around Angel. The only change was that Angel's right eye seemed to shine with a faint green light.
Palisanya wanted to observe the green light carefully, but when it looked directly at Angel's right eye, a palpitation made it look away involuntarily.
Palisanya didn't know why it felt palpitations, but it vaguely understood that Angel's right eye should be a means to resist pressure.
That kind of power seemed to be a kind of... taboo.
Palisanya didn't dare to think too much, and it didn't dare to ask too much, so it could only remain silent.
They walked along the periphery of the misty forest for a few minutes, and Angel broke the silence: "Is that where Lord Naimeicui is in seclusion?"
Palisanya looked in the direction Angel pointed, and it was the only high ground in this forest.
Low hill.
Palisanya was stunned for a moment, "You, how do you know?"
Before Angel could speak, Toby, who had transformed into a seabird again, couldn't help rolling his eyes at Palisanya and making a chirping sound.
Palisanya: "What is it saying?"
Angel couldn't say that Toby was calling you a fool. Therefore, Angel did not explain Toby's words, but pretended not to hear him and answered its first question.
Angel: "Because you have been leading us around the edge of the forest, isn't it obvious that there is something wrong in the center?"
And the center of the ring forest is the low hill. Therefore, Angel speculated that Naimeicui should be in seclusion near the low hill.
Palisanya, whose inner thoughts were exposed by Angel, was a little panicked, worried that Angel would head towards the low hill after knowing where Naimeicui was in seclusion.
It hurriedly said: "You promised me before, wherever I go, you will follow me."
Looking at Palisanya's uneasy look, Angel shrugged: "I didn't say we were going to the low hill, we will just walk around or stop here."
Since Angel said so, Palisanya did not take Angel to continue to circle boringly, but chose to stop near a flat big rock.
"Then we'll wait here. If Lord Naimeicui is still conscious and willing to see you, she will show up." Palisanya paused: "If the Lord doesn't show up, then we'll leave. Time limit... time limit..."
Angel: "The time limit is before midnight. Under this kind of pressure, I can only last so long."
Palisanya nodded.
Time passed by, the sunset became darker, and the white sky was still floating, and stars also floated.
They didn't talk during this time. Angel was meditating quietly, and Palisanya was staring at Angel closely, fearing that Angel would do something to wake up Naimeicui in seclusion.
This open surveillance lasted until the night.
Angel, who had been meditating, finally opened his eyes. He stretched and took out a cup emitting a biting cold air from the space.
Palisanya frowned instantly: "What are you doing? Don't forget what you promised me."
Angel: "Just like plants need water, humans can't live without water."
Angel said, waving his fingertips, a water delivery spell condensed, and a thin stream of water was put into the transparent cup.
Angel drank it all in one gulp, and then put the cup beside him.
Palisanya glanced at Angel, making sure that he didn't make any other small movements, and then relaxed his mind.
"If Master Naimeicui really has consciousness in the outside world, it must have sensed it when you entered the core area. Since the master has not appeared until now, either the master does not want to see you, or you guessed wrong, and the master did not leave any consciousness." Palisanya: "So, I advise you to leave."
Because Angel was quite obedient along the way, Palisanya's tone was obviously much kinder.
Angel said indifferently: "Didn't we agree to wait until midnight? It's not completely dark now. Wait a little longer, maybe it will come soon?"
Palisanya was about to say "impossible", but before it could speak, it heard a rustling sound coming from a distance.
"This sound..." Palisanya turned his head suddenly, his eyes fixed on the dense forest.
There was no change in the depths of the dense forest, but the rustling sound continued to come.
And, as time went on, the rustling sound became louder and louder, as if something had come around them.
When a gust of cold wind blew, Palisanya only felt a light in the distance.
An elegant figure slowly walked out from the depths of the dense forest.
What kind of figure was that?
It emitted a faint green light.
It swayed its slender body.
Every time it moved forward, it was accompanied by the sound of singing sand.
And with the appearance of this figure, a soft green light began to bloom around it...
