Chapter 168 005: Habik
Two days later, the South Coast mission came down, requiring him to go to assist the South Coast Alliance in attacking the Shadow Tower.
A few days later, the Lost Forest.
The Lost Forest is an area located in the west of the Dark Forest. It is lush and has complex terrain. Strange travelers often get lost in it and are eventually swallowed by the forest, hence the name.
At the entrance of the Lost Forest, Luo Xi jumped off Nilu's back, lifted her big hood and looked at the forest in front of her.
There are many trees that can only be hugged by several people. They are tens or even hundreds of meters high, standing on the ground like giant pillars. The dense branches spread out from both sides and entangled with each other to form a piece that covers the sky. The roots on the ground are also extremely complicated.
"So many giant species!"
Ordinary trees are far from growing to this height. This belongs to the category of giant species.
Giant species do not only appear in animals. To be precise, giant species are relatively rare in animals. Giant species in plants occupy the majority.
The trees in front of us are still small. Some powerful giant trees can even grow to tens of kilometers or even hundreds of kilometers. One tree is a forest, inhabited by various creatures and even human villages.
Strictly speaking, such tree species have already left the category of giant species and reached the level of world species.
"What a big tree, brother Luo Xi, are we going in here?" Ni Lu looked at the huge forest in front of her, and for some reason she always felt a little uncomfortable: "This forest makes me feel uneasy."
Luo Xi raised her eyebrows and asked in confusion: "Is there any danger here?"
Ni Lu shook her head: "I don't know too much, but I just feel that this place is not too good."
Luo Xi frowned.
The hellhound is a high-level magical life. Its soul perception ability is far beyond the comparison of Luo Xi, an ordinary wizard. It is not surprising that Ni Lu can perceive some existences that Luo Xi cannot perceive.
Luo Xi asked, "Can you sense what it is specifically?"
"I'll try."
Ni Lu closed her eyes and calmed down for a while, but it seemed that she didn't get any results. She shook her head and said, "I'm sorry, Brother Luo Xi."
Can't sense it?
Luo Xi shook his head, "It's okay, let's go in first."
It doesn't mean that there will be danger in the forest if there are powerful energy bodies. Many energy bodies are powerful, but they are not threatening as long as you don't provoke them.
For example, it's like a volcano. There is boiling magma flowing in the volcano, but if it's just an ant, it can't sense the existence of magma in the volcano. Here, Luo Xi is comparable to the ant, and Ni Lu is a creature that is much stronger than the ant, such as a flying bird, who can see the existence of magma.
Although the energy of these magmas is very powerful, as long as you don't run to the edge of the magma mouth or jump in, you will generally be fine.
According to the information Luo Xi knew, this forest has existed here for a long time. Black wizards often move around here, and no bad things have been heard of. In addition, there are some human towns and other biological communities, so there shouldn't be anything wrong.
Walking into the forest with Nilu, Luo Xi took out the task scroll given by the Alliance. There was a map of this place on the scroll, and there was a coordinate on it. According to the requirements of the Alliance, he needed to rush to this coordinate within seven days.
"It's really a bit strange."
Walking in the forest, Luo Xi turned his head and looked at the surrounding trees.
The survival of giant species consumes a lot of energy. Logically speaking, it takes the energy supply of an entire forest to cultivate just one such tree. It is also because of this that it is extremely difficult to have a giant species in a forest. The energy supply of so many giant species in this forest is simply incomprehensible.
"Hey, stranger."
"A strange face, a strange face I've never seen before."
"Ah, look at him walking in the ancient forest, what attracted him here?"
"Guess, let's guess, it's time to bet nuts."
Just then, a strange voice came from the tree. Luo Xi turned his head and looked over there, only to find that it was two little squirrels on the tree.
Luo Xi was surprised and said, "Harbik?"
Harbik, this is a species of the forest tribe. They have low-level intelligence and can communicate with people. They belong to low-level intelligent species.
Luo Xi touched the ground with his toes, and after a few flashes, he quickly appeared in front of the two little squirrels.
This move immediately gave the two little guys a jump.
"It's over, why did he suddenly come up, run away."
"You'll be eaten!"
The two little guys were about to run away with their big tails, but before they ran out, they were controlled in place by an invisible force.
Although Habik has low-level intelligence, their body functions are no different from those of ordinary animals. To put it simply, they are animals that can talk.
"Oh, why can't I move!"
"It's over, it's a wizard!"
Luo Xi came to the two quarreling squirrels, grabbed the tail of one and brought it to him, saying: "Don't be nervous, I have no ill intentions."
The little squirrel trembled, and its two pearly teeth made a clicking sound.
Luo Xi took out two magic stones and placed them in front of the squirrels, and the eyes of the two little guys immediately lit up.
"Magic stones, it's magic stones!"
"Baby!"
Magic stones are extremely valuable to intelligent life. Through these inconspicuous black stones, you can exchange any treasure you want from the omnipotent wizard. Most intelligent life knows this.
Luo Xi swung the magic stone in front of the squirrels and said: "I want to hire you two as my guides, and I have some questions about this forest that I want to ask you two, is that okay?"
While speaking, he released the mental force field and released control over the squirrels.
The two little squirrels immediately pecked at their heads like chickens eating rice, and bowed humanely at the same time.
"I'm very happy to serve you, sir."
"You will never find a better guide than Hammy in the Lost Forest."
Roshi threw the magic stone in his hand, and the two little squirrels jumped up flexibly, and their small claws immediately grabbed the magic stone with their big tails.
"Magic stone, it's really a magic stone!"
"I'm rich, I'm rich!"
Roshi then took out the map and asked the squirrels: "Okay, you two, I'm going to this place, you can lead the way for me, right?"
The name of the Lost Forest is not called randomly. The terrain of this place is complicated and it is easy to get lost in it. Although it is not impossible for wizards to locate it, it is definitely not as convenient as finding a guide.
The little squirrel leaned over and took a look, and easily recognized the location of the coordinates.
"Over the Black Swamp."
"We are very familiar with this place, you won't get lost."
