Chapter 1040 1022. Dark Forest

The atmosphere in the woods was not friendly.

Lan En has been in this world for two days. This is the second forest he has seen, but both woods have the same feeling.

It made him unclear whether this was a common feature of forests in this world.

The woods are very big, or they should be called forests.

The surrounding trees grew so densely that it almost felt like it was lacking oxygen and making it difficult to breathe.

The winding and coiled branches grow in disorder, and there are no traces of vibrant biological activity in the forest.

There was no sound of birds, no cry of wild beasts, not even the chirping of insects.

After coming out of Tom's cozy cabin and neat lawn, this drastic change in the atmosphere made Lan En and the others feel extremely abrupt.

Like now, Qilin is still a little dazed.

But fortunately, Lan En took the lead in completing the mental adjustment.

His nerves began to tighten moderately, and the muscles throughout his body began to heat up under the influence of the activated nerves, entering a state suitable for exercise.

His left hand rested on the handle of Arondette's knife at his waist.

"Flannel ball."

The witcher looked around cautiously while calling his partner's name.

"I'm meowing!"

Elle cat, who had just rolled up his small cloak and stuffed it into the backpack on Qilin's back, raised his paws in response.

"You go up first and look at the position of the sun and the surrounding terrain. We have to first determine where that guy Old Tom threw us."

The flannel balls are crisp and neat.

Its breathing suddenly changed, and the [Light Body Breathing Technique] was used. In conjunction with its already light cat-shaped body, it rushed up towards the nearest twisted and growing tree with great agility.

Even when the body of the flannel ball quickly penetrated into the upper layer of the tree canopy, the wind brought by the speed around it made the large leaves rustle.

After a while, the cry of a kitten came from the canopy of the tree.

"I saw the sun, meow! It's here now. Wait! Boss! Something is coming from that direction, meow!"

From a kitten's perspective.

At this time, Elu Cat was already standing on the top of the crown branches of the big tree in the forest.

Relying on his racial superiority, Linbuqiu's [Light Body Technique] has reached the level of the high-level solitary shadows in the Weiming Kingdom.

It can stand on the top of a swaying branch without breaking.

This gives it excellent viewing conditions.

And in the direction of the sun, in the dense woods in the distance, there was a large amount of disturbance in the crowns of the big trees.

The branches and leaves of this big tree swayed due to being struck and pulled, forming a straight path, quickly approaching in their direction!

At first glance, it seems that there is something huge, or a large group of things running towards here!

So Fluffy Ball used [Light Body Technique] to descend quickly like a shadow, while loudly reminding Lan En.

But Lan En actually didn't use it to remind him.

After all, the commotion over there is really quite big.

Lan En looked in that direction and patted Qilin's neck.

Gu Long understood in his heart, and azure blue current began to flash in series between its hooves.

We are unfamiliar with the place here, so even if we don’t want to cause trouble, we should turn around and retreat first. Who knows what we might bump into again?

Might as well wait and see what is running rampant in this forest.

Even if the follow-up situation is troublesome and requires retreat, Qilin, which has completed its warm-up, can still use its speed to take Lan En and Velvet Ball away.

At this time, the Ellu cat also jumped down from the tree. It borrowed strength from Lan En's shoulder, and then stepped onto Qilin's saddle.

The thunder cat sword with the pattern of claws and meatballs printed on it was also pulled out from behind, and it was ready to face the direction where the noise was getting closer and closer.

Woods and shrubs are good sound-absorbing structures. In a dense jungle, you may not be able to hear another person's shout even from a distance of more than ten meters.

But not far away, the "click" sound of tree branches being pulled off and the "squeak" sound of leaves rubbing against each other have become one, even making it seem a bit noisy in this originally dead forest.

Fluffy Ball stood on the saddle, holding the Thundercat Sword.

Lan En also put his hand on the handle of the knife at his waist.

The Qilin lowered his head, and the Qilin's gray horns protruding from the face guard of the magic harness faced forward.

The three of them stood ready, and not far away in front of them, in addition to the chaotic sounds, the trees and branches in their field of vision were also shaking violently.

The atmosphere became increasingly sharp, and Lan En's hand resting on the handle of the knife had even pulled out a small section of the blade from the scabbard.

If any monster rushed out from the dense trees at this time, it would probably be killed in an instant.

"Uh-huh!"

Something suddenly rushed out of the shaking bushes, but Lan En's eyes narrowed slightly at first, and then returned to normal.

He didn't slash out instantly, but moved sideways to get a little bit out of the way.

Several gray shadows jumped out in succession.

The flannel ball was also holding a sword, and the expression of preparing to fight was still on his face, but it had already solidified.

"Meow?"

Because what jumped out from the bushes were seven or eight large rabbits with gray fur and a body length of nearly one meter!

These seven or eight rabbits were all covered with saddle ropes and the like, like sled dogs, and were connected in two rows.

After seeing Lan En and the three of them in the clearing between the woods, Lan En caught the eyes of the leading rabbit with his own reaction.

It showed a humane expression of being caught off guard and surprised.

Then the leading rabbit quickly turned and stopped in an emergency by taking advantage of the space given by Lan En.

These big rabbits were not only arranged like sled dogs pulling a sled, but they were also pulling a small car behind them.

"Oh my God! Bambi, did you eat mushrooms and your brain got damaged? Don't stop!"

An old but vigorous voice came from behind.

As the leading big rabbits turned and stopped in an emergency, the car they were pulling behind was also "thrown" out of the bushes.

It was a simple but sturdy land sled made of wood, with a sloppy old man standing on it, who was anxiously shouting at the leading big rabbit.

Lan En's eyes showed a sudden realization. He said that the footsteps he heard just now were so strange. It turned out that this combination itself was strange enough.

The sloppiness of this old man was simply extraordinary.

He was only wearing a brown tattered robe. Lan En was not even sure whether the robe was originally brown or had become brown because it had not been washed for too long.

A tattered leather hat was on his head, revealing his gray and tangled hair. In his hand, he held a wooden staff that was slightly taller than a person, with a crystal on the top of the staff.

And on the side of his forehead, was that bird droppings?

A piece of white with green plaster-like stuff covered a large area of ​​hair on the side of his forehead.

But strangely, he didn't have a strong odor on his body.

After the wooden sled was thrown out by the big rabbits and stopped steadily, the anxious old man saw the three guys parked on the side while anxiously patrolling around.

He first subconsciously shrank back, and then quickly raised the staff in front of him.

The turbid eyes looked them up and down.

A tall guy, who was not sure if he was human. A horse that was also tall and larger than its kind. And a cat wearing armor and holding a long sword?

The sloppy old man blinked, and seemed a little confused. Later, he took back one of his hands holding the staff and rubbed his eyes.

He seemed to be wondering if he had eaten mushrooms and had lost his mind.

Lan En also frowned and looked at the old man in front of him cautiously.

Through the communication the day before, the demon hunter had confirmed that there were still outrageous world masters like the Creator God in this world.

It was not at all inconsistent to say that it was the mythological era.

Who knows what kind of person this old man who was racing in the forest with a big rabbit pulling a sled is?

Wizard? Forest God? Goblin?

"Who are you? How did you appear in this dangerous land?"

The sloppy old man rubbed his eyes, and after confirming that the three guys in front of him were not hallucinations, he asked in a low and careful voice.

At the same time, the staff was always pointed at Lan En vigilantly.

"An accident." Lan En did not approach rashly, but just raised one hand to explain. "We don't know where this place is. We just walked and got here in the blink of an eye."

"Don't be nervous. We have no ill intentions."

Using his communication skills that can almost be called a talent, Lan En is comforting the sloppy old man in front of him who is obviously vigilant and alert.

When faced with too outrageous rhetoric, the first reaction of the listener is often not disbelief or rebuttal, but a moment of stunned.

The sloppy old man is like this.

But before he could react, the leading big rabbit pulling the sled in front of him stood up straight, and at the same time, one of its hind legs with big feet stepped on the ground with a rapid rhythm of "pa pa pa".

The rabbit's cry is often not very high, so it uses this method to issue a warning.

After the leading big rabbit issued a warning, the sloppy old man also suddenly returned to his previous state from his daze - anxious and urgent.

"Is someone chasing you from behind?"

Lan En asked tentatively.

This attracted the sloppy old man's surprised eyes.

"You really don't know this dark forest? The one chasing me is not a human!"

"Run first! Run first! Go!"

He gripped the handle of the wooden sled again, and the big rabbits pulling the sled started again under the leadership of the leader.

Lan En saw the sloppy old man waved to them for the last time, so he simply jumped on the horse.

"Follow him."

The demon hunter patted the Kirin's neck and whispered to it.

The Kirin nodded its head, and its hooves started flexibly and at high speed!

Lan En and the others followed two body lengths behind the rabbit sled.

Not long after the Kirin ran out of the clearing in the forest just now.

"Squeak!"

A sharp cry came from behind, accompanied by the sound of the body knocking off the branches!

There was also the sound of sharp limbs moving on the wood of the tree trunk!

Lan En looked back and saw that it was a large group of bats rushing out of the woods! The kind of big bats that can completely cover the upper body of a person with their wings spread out!

And there are huge spiders!

Spiders that are about the same size as Lan En!

They all seemed to be extremely hungry and chased towards this side.
