The black forest of the soul phase, the light is dim, and there are dim halos from the trees in the dimness. Looking at it from a little distance, it is hazy, and nothing can be seen at all.
After Ferrena said this, everyone stopped and looked around vigilantly.
Just as everyone was concentrating on guarding, suddenly there was another strange sound.
'咕咕~~咕咕咕咕~~haha~~' This voice sounded like someone was laughing, and it rang directly in the ear, as if the monster was standing behind it.
Everyone was taken aback, and Link was no exception.
'唰~''Clang~' There was a crisp sound, everyone clenched the weapons in their hands, and formed a circle back to back to face the dark forest.
Link cast a flash spell.
In the soul phase, the effect of this 0-level magic is very weak, and the brightness is less than one-tenth of the base phase. After the light ball appears, the lighting effect is not much stronger than that of fireflies.
Seeing this situation, Link simply fixed his eyes, staring at the light ball closely, with one thought in his mind: 'Light up! light up! light up! '
A strange thing happened. The ball of light seemed to be able to hear Link's voice, and it quickly became brighter. Soon, the area within a radius of five meters was fully illuminated.
As for the place farther away, there seems to be some fog separating it, but it is still hazy.
"Did you see anything?" Link looked around, but he didn't find anything strange around him.
"No."
"I do not have either."
"It's strange. What I saw just now is about two meters high, and it's also very big. It's extremely fast, and it passed by in a flash." Felena was also very strange.
"Could it be a mistake?" Annie asked.
"Are you doubting the eyes of the Dragon Clan?" Felena snorted coldly, dissatisfied with Annie's questioning.
Link believed that Felena really saw it, and he asked, "Which direction are you seeing?"
If other people said that he saw a black shadow, Link might think he was wrong, but Felena is a strong person at the peak of level 7, and it is basically impossible for such a mistake to occur.
Felena pointed to a bush more than one meter high and said: "Over there, out of the corner of my eye, I saw him standing on the edge of the bush and looking at me, but when I turned around to look, he suddenly disappeared. Ran away."
Link controlled the ball of light and flew towards the bushes, and the surroundings of the bushes became very bright, and everyone went up to observe with full vigilance.
A few minutes later, Annie said: "I didn't find any signs of anyone passing by, how about you?"
The scouts all shook their heads: "Me neither."
This is strange, according to Feliena's description, the other party has such a big body and such a fast speed, it is impossible to leave no traces behind.
Feliena was also puzzled and confused: "I clearly saw it, how could it be like this?"
This situation is a bit weird.
Link doesn't know the reason. In the previous game, he also experienced the situation of entering a heterogeneous phase to complete the task, but every time he just tasted it. Like this time, he walked hundreds of kilometers at a time. Neither experienced.
He doesn't know much about what is in this soul phase and what will happen. He vaguely felt that his team might be targeted by the nightmare beasts, but Link didn't know much about how to deal with the nightmare beasts.
If they keep going like this, they are afraid that something will happen.
Link looked up again, and looked at the sky through the gaps in the trees. The sky was gray, and there was a faint, huge oppressive force, which indicated that the Serpent of Darkness was still following them, and it was not far behind.
This cuts off their escape route back to the base aspect.
After thinking for a while, Link said, "Let's get closer to each other, don't get separated, Felena, you go at the front, I go at the back, Annie, you go in the middle."
It is very likely that there is some kind of power that affects the mind in the soul plane. Here, his and Feliena's souls are the most powerful and have the strongest resistance. They protect the scouts in the middle and are the safest.
The group nodded silently, and after adjusting their formation, they continued to move forward.
As the black forest deepened, the trees became more and more lush, and the light became more and more dim. If it weren't for the faint light and shadow emitted by the trees, it would be impossible to see the five fingers here.
'Hee hee~~hahahaha~~'
Suddenly, another laugh appeared in everyone's ears, almost frightening people out of heart attack.
Immediately afterwards, in the middle of the line, a scout named Eric suddenly walked aside with straight eyes, a dull smile appeared on his face, and he muttered to himself: "Oh, Ollie, my daughter, It's good that you're still alive, Ollie..."
He was actually about to leave the team and walk towards the depths of the woods.
Scout Larsen hurried forward to hold him, shouting his name: "Eric! Eric! Wake up, wake up!"
He slapped his face while shouting, but the scout didn't respond at all. There was a weird smile on his face, as if he had obtained some kind of happiness.
Slowly, his body did not move, and after a while, a faint shadow emerged from his body, then flashed quickly, and disappeared into the woods.
Looking at this Eric again, his breathing has actually stopped.
"He's dead." Larson looked at Link, his eyes filled with terror.
The same goes for other scouts.
There was a moment of silence in the forest, the situation of this soul aspect was really terrifying.
Suddenly, Feliena shouted: "That's it, that's what happened to the black shadow just now, its speed is as fast as the shadow that came out of Eric's body!"
Annie also came back to her senses. She carefully checked the path that the shadow ran out of, and then turned around and said, "There are no traces left on the ground."
"Was that Eric's soul just now?"
"He kept calling Ollie just now, who is Ollie?"
"Olly is his dead daughter. Because of Eric's negligence, she fell into the river and drowned. Eric has always been very remorseful." It was Eric's friend who spoke.
"Then did that voice belong to Ollie? Or, did something pretend to be Ollie and seduce him?"
The scouts looked at me and I looked at you, chattering and guessing wildly, the more they thought about it, the more scared they became.
Felena looked at Link and said, "I feel bad, what should I do now?"
Link also frowned. He looked up at the sky. The sky had become dark and dark, but the pressure from the Dark Snake was much less. The other party should be some distance away from them. This made Link make up his mind. He took out the phase scroll again.
"This is the world of the soul, I'm afraid we can't stay for long."
He decisively input the magic energy into the scroll, and a mysterious aura emanated from the scroll, and then, like dyeing, the surrounding world quickly brightened, the colors became brighter, white snow appeared, and the cold wind began to howl.
Looking at this familiar world, even though everyone knew that this was the hinterland of the dark elf kingdom, even if they knew that there was a guy with a divine weapon chasing them behind them, everyone still breathed a sigh of relief.
"My Lord of Radiance, we have entered the mass grave of the dark elves!" Someone shouted.
Because of the war, there are a lot of rotting corpses piled up in this dark elf cemetery, including human and dark elf corpses, and there are many hanged human soldiers on the big tree next to it.
As the wind blew, these corpses fluttered, exuding an extremely rancid stench.
"What a damn place! Let's get out of here quickly!" Feliena frowned tightly.
Naturally, there is nothing to stay in such a place. After identifying the direction, Link and the others continued to head south.
But the good times didn't last long. Felena suddenly turned her head to listen, and said softly: "Link, listen, someone is chasing him, very fast, and the footsteps are very messy. There are at least 30 people."
Link blessed himself with a civet ear, and then turned his head to listen. After a few seconds, he let out a long breath: "It's terrible, listening to the footsteps, it's all dark ghosts and a demon warrior. They should have discovered We are here, I think, the owner of Bone Cinder must be among them."
Link has an excellent memory, even the sound of footsteps, he will not forget it after hearing it once.
From the sound of these footsteps, he knew that the demon was the one that retreated outside the Bone Cinder Castle Plain before. Although the other party was not very courageous, the power of level 7 was no joke.
Feliena said: "They are about 3 miles away from us. With the speed of the dark ghosts, we may not be able to escape."
There are 7 of them, and Link doesn't have much mana left. Although Feliena has the peak strength of level 7, she can't beat four hands with two fists. The other 4 scouts are all level 4. Already on the verge of demonization, not only is it not a combat power, but it is also a drag.
There is no need to fight at all.
In the basic aspect, this is already a desperate situation!
After being silent for a while, Link said: "Continue to enter the soul phase, get rid of them, and then return to the basic phase, just rushing alternately."
This is the most helpless way. Everyone looked at each other and nodded.
Link took out the phase scroll again, triggered it, and the whole world faded again, and they returned to the dark forest of soul phases full of strange situations.
"Speed up and get as far away as possible!"
…
black forest.
Osera, who was chasing at full speed, suddenly twitched her eyebrows, and reached out to stop the ghost beside her: "These mice are hiding in the ground again, I'm very upset."
The demon Brutan walked over with a shy face, and asked in a low voice, "Envoy of Darkness, what should we do now?"
Ossella tilted his head and thought for a while, then said: "I need a magician who can enter heterogeneous phases, this place is less than 100 kilometers away from Dark Tide Lake, now you go back to Fort Holden and invite Master Emmons over here , I need his wisdom."
"I'll go right away." Brutan nodded hastily. He knew that the other party was very dissatisfied with him, so he was very courteous. After agreeing, he turned around and ran towards the dark tide lake.
Osera looked at the black forest in front of her, pursed her lips tightly, with a gloomy expression.
She stroked the long whip in her hand, and whispered: "My baby, I'm really sorry, I haven't let you get such a delicious soul, but I promise, it won't be too long, yes, soon It will work."
…
At this time, a lone girl also came to the southern border of the Black Forest.
The girl has a pair of pure and bright eyes, exquisite facial features, wearing a gorgeous blue battle dress, and a short sword pinned to her waist. This is almost a perfect girl. The only shortcoming is that her chest is flat, which is missing Kind of charming.
She stood at the entrance of the Black Forest, looked up at the tall spruces in the forest, and suddenly stopped moving.
"Owner information lost, retest... Failed to detect..."
The expression on the girl's face was very flat, and the crisp voice continued: "Enable probability analysis... start fuzzy tracking..."
After pausing for a while, the girl rushed towards a certain direction in the black forest.
She was extremely fast, and within three meters of her forward rush, she heard a "bang" in the air, and the girl's figure had disappeared into the forest. Wherever she passed, birds and beasts were startled, and grass and leaves rolled up. , like a ferocious beast crossing the border.
