Chapter 2603 Entering the Forest
There is a saying that the speaker does not mean, but the listener does.
Billy, who was angry because his suggestion was ruthlessly rejected, immediately became furious after hearing what I said.
He raised his chest, raised his head, contracted his abdomen and raised his hips. A wave of anger rose in his chest. Two balls of anger were hidden in his eyes. He raised his arms and pointed his halberd in anger: "Don't think that because you have strong healing power, you can look down on others. In terms of healing power, Godobi You are more powerful, and you can not only heal yourself, but also heal others. You can be called a little expert in healing in the priest world."
The second half of Billy's complaint was muffled by Gordo with his hands, choking him so much that he bared his teeth and claws, flailed his arms and kicked his legs, his eyes turned white, and he almost fainted.
Gordo bared his teeth at me and said, "Captain, don't mind, just treat him like a fart."
I looked back, smiled, and made an OK gesture.
Billy rolled his eyes, stopped struggling, and finally fainted due to my body language.
Phoenix saw me off until I left the house. She had a worried look on her face, just like a wife who was saying goodbye to her husband who was going off to war. In order to comfort her, I resorted to touching her head to kill. This trick has been tried and tested, and Phoenix's worried look soon became less intense. .
After waving goodbye, I ran toward the forest bravely alone.
On the road, townspeople kept whispering on both sides of the road. Half of them were discussing my identity, and the other half were discussing the date of my death.
Okay, before I even entered the forest, I was already on the pseudo-ending panel where I was destined to die.
It’s like I’m cannon fodder who’s professionally killed.
By the way, if it weren’t for helping Florence and Zach solve their life problems, I wouldn’t be too lazy to come here and venture into the forest and take risks!
Wouldn't it be better to lie down at home and take a nap?
If it doesn't work, it's better to serve Emily as a sparring target than a trip to the forest.
After all, the forest in Airui City is not only not as dense, deep and beautiful as the Elf Forest, but it also does not have the hospitable King of the Forest as its companion.
While complaining, I walked out of the town and walked a hundred meters to the edge of the forest.
As soon as I reached the edge of the forest, I couldn't help but frown.
This forest belonging to Airui City looks good from a distance, but once you get closer, you will find that it is far worse than the Elf Forest.
Scattered domestic garbage is scattered around the forest. As the wind passes by, many light domestic garbage dances with the wind, sometimes to the left, sometimes to the right, and sometimes blows to my feet and hangs on my shoes. Don't leave, just like a hospitable bustard.
There were black lines on my forehead and my head was full of muscles. I had the urge to turn around and leave.
Guarding such a beautiful forest, you don’t even know how to protect the environment and pay attention to hygiene. I even began to wonder whether the monsters in the forest are not a symbol of evil, but completely follow the meaning of the forest and do something to this group of ignorant and ridiculous humans. Indiscriminate revenge?
I thought to myself maliciously.
After taking several deep breaths, I calmed down the anger in my heart and moved forward. Soon I climbed the dirt steps and entered the forest.
When I first set foot in the forest, the ground was still full of garbage, which made me feel even worse.
But after walking for another hundred or ten meters, the domestic garbage gradually decreases, and the deeper you go into the forest, the less garbage there is. When you reach about two to three hundred meters, there is no trace of domestic garbage anymore, but correspondingly, The smell of blood started to get stronger.
If what is expected is correct, starting from here is the monster's activity area.
Although there is a strong self-healing ability as support, after all, he is not familiar with the place, and he is not clear about the opponent's attack method and attack strength, so he cannot act recklessly.
Therefore, I gradually slowed down and walked deeper into the forest step by step. At the same time, my five senses gradually became tense, and I kept observing possible abnormalities around me.
Soon, I found unusual traces, such as trees.
There is nothing special about the tree. It is just like other willows and pines. However, the traces on the tree do not seem to be naturally formed. Although the color is close to the bark of the tree, both are dark, but if you look carefully, it is obvious that they are It can be found that there are gaps on it, and I am certain that these gaps are definitely caused by external forces.
After thinking for a moment, I reached out my hand and touched the dark gap. After retracting my fingers, I kept groping with two fingers. The dark substance on my fingertips slowly smudged out. I put it under my nose and took a whiff. This is blood.
There are scratches on the tree body, and there is blood on it. I guess it must be that during the battle, the monster's claws scratched the human body and stained the body with blood. In the subsequent battle, the claws scratched the bark of the tree, and the body was stained with blood. Blood remained on the wounds on the tree.
Well, this is one of the conjectures. Of course, there is also another conjecture, that is, the human being was forced into the tree by the monster, scratched his heart with a claw, and the blood sprayed out soaked the wound on the tree.
It's just that I didn't find anything related to cloth, skin tissue, or muscle tissue on the tree, so the second possibility is unlikely.
And I can conclude that this tree is not a monster, it is just an ordinary tree. Since it is just an ordinary tree, it will definitely not dispose of the biological tissue on its body, which further reduces the possibility of the second situation.
Then I walked forward for another ten meters. Based on the shape of the surrounding soil and the scratches on the trees, I could tell that this monster's attack method was mostly scratching. It had at least one pair of sharp claws. It was unknown how fast it was, but its explosive power. It must be quite big, because there are obvious claw marks on the ground in certain places, and the soil under the claw marks is more compact than ordinary soil.
Unfortunately, the paw prints were incomplete, and the tails of the paw prints were very long, probably because of the slippery ground. There might have been rain on the day of the battle, or about a day in advance.
After walking a few steps further, I saw a pile of torn clothes discarded in the middle of the dirt road.
Pick up the clothes, spread them out, put them on the bag, and observe them carefully.
This is a standard set of adventurer clothing, belonging to men's style. The damaged areas are on the abdomen, chest, and collar, and all the damaged areas are in one go. It should be caused by a sharp weapon.
If you carefully identify the shape of the damaged area, you can probably determine that it is not much different from the monster's claws.
Perhaps after suffering a trauma, the adventurer was aroused by the monster and became angry. He threw the tattered coat aside and stepped forward to fight with it, but unfortunately he died.
He picked up the clothing and pulled it from side to side. It was good and quite strong. Depending on the toughness of the clothing, either the adventurer was from a wealthy family or he had good strength and was worthy of this clothing.
According to my guess about the owner of this dress, he probably belongs to the latter group. He is an adventurer with good strength, but unfortunately he encountered a more powerful monster.
After all, a monster that can tear this kind of clothes into this appearance with one blow is at least ten levels of strength.
At least it can be compared with sand scorpions and sand pythons.
Considering that a group of adventurers around level 10 were all wiped out, it is estimated that they may have the same strength as the man-eating tree.
