When the three of them approached the east exit of Yueyin Village, Ling explained to Xu Mo and Duo Rui: "If you want to enter the Sleeping Forest, you have to show the corresponding task paper, and the two guards next to the transmission point will do it." Let go. Moreover, only this teleportation totem and the teleportation totem leading to the sky-reaching vine where the guardian prophet Kleiya is located need to cast the corresponding teleportation spell to go there, and the others will be automatically teleported as long as they stand on the totem .In short, I don’t have the task, you go ahead and show it and get the pass, I’ll just follow.”
Sure enough, there were two guards standing on both sides of the teleportation totem at the entrance of the village as usual. When they saw Xu Mo and his party approaching, they asked aloud: "Are you going to the Forest of Sleep? Why are you going?"
"Yes, we are going to find the antidote for the chief, and try to complete the task of the guardian prophet Keleiya, and eliminate the host of the hypnotic flower." As he said, Xu Mo spread out the two tasks that he had already prepared scroll.
The two guards came up to glance at the task, then looked up at Duo Rui and Ling who were standing behind Xu Mo, and asked, "Are you together?"
"Yes, a group of three, advancing and retreating together." Xu Mo replied.
The two guards looked at each other, then retreated to both sides of the totem overflowing with purple light, and gestured for them to enter the range of the aperture.
Before chanting the teleportation spell, the guard on the right made a final persuasion: "The Sleeping Forest is the most dangerous area around Moon Hidden Village. It is full of poisonous gas and unknown monsters wander around. Many adventurers have gone to it." Come back, don’t try it lightly if you are not fully prepared—this is the most sincere and kind reminder for compatriots.”
After hearing this, Xu Mo, who was already mentally prepared, just smiled and replied loudly: "We are ready!"
The two guards immediately spread their palms, posing as if they were holding something, and murmured a series of humming spells in their mouths. Xu Mo saw that the purple light became more and more blazing. Gradually fading, they have appeared in a forest in the mist.

Already getting used to the Xu Mo that passed around in various spaces for two seconds, he got used to the feeling of landing in the space this time. The grass under his feet was soft and moist, but what he saw when he looked down was a withered yellow color. Both feet are indeed in place, but he has an illusion that the teleportation is not in place, because the vision seems to be obstructed, and the air in his breath is also faintly smelling of rotting plants... When he raised his head, he was caught by the panorama in front of him The world with a little yellow thick fog was startled, because judging from the concentration of the fog, it can be said that you can’t see your fingers one meter away. Encountering monsters in this environment can only be a surprise attack .
Just when Xu Mo was about to ask his two companions about the direction and opinions of his travels, Ling who was standing behind him suddenly walked up to him and Dori, chanting an incomprehensible mantra and waving at the same time, the three of them The whole body was covered with a pale white halo.
"This dense fog is one of the reasons why you can only come to this Sleeping Forest at level 20." Seeing Xu Mo staring blankly at each other's halos, Zero explained, "Because, when most occupations reach level 20, Then you will learn one or two protective skills, such as the holy protection of the paladin, the magic wheel of the mage, the mantra shield of the priest, the immune magic of the warlock, and the shadow escape of the assassin also has the space immunity function, etc. These skills can be effective Isolate the harmful environment carefully, such as the dense fog of this Sleeping Forest—if you walk in it without protection, you will be poisoned in a short time, and thus enter a state of deep sleep, and eventually become the bait of monsters."
"I know, I was poisoned by the mist last time. After I escaped, I searched for a long time before I bought the antidote in the hidden pharmacy where the alchemist was, so as to get rid of the drowsy state." Dory He took a breath, "It's great that you can apply a protective shield for us... Are you a senior priest? Or a mage?..."
Zero just smiled and didn't answer, turned around and explained: "Let's go, follow me closely."
At this moment, Xu Mo and Duo Rui, who have become more and more convinced of Zero's ability, looked at each other, nodded, followed the leader's elegant white back, and walked quickly towards the front.
Not long after advancing, the three of them heard the rustling sound coming from all around - it was definitely not the rustling sound of leaves blown by the wind, but the rubbing sound of many feet stepping on the grass, and the sound of grinding teeth like herbivores chewing, or Accompanied by an increasingly strong smell of corruption...
Xu Mo and Duo Rui immediately drew their weapons, gathered together, and quickly entered the state of preparation for battle, but Ling continued to move forward leisurely without paying attention.
"Hey, hello! - Zero! It seems that the monster is not far away!" Dori couldn't help but reminded the guide who was walking in front and focused on the road.
"Don't worry about it, it's just insignificant little things." Zero still didn't intend to stop, but reminded the two little followers who were looking around nervously behind him again, "Remember to follow me closely."
While talking, Xu Mo glanced behind him. In an area where the fog was getting thinner close to the ground, he seemed to see many legs that looked like spider legs. Finally, he couldn't help reaching out to grab Ling's sleeve, and Say: "Monster! - Zero, the monster is behind us!"
"Really? Where is it?" Zero glanced back for a while, Xu Mo complied and also looked back, but those faint spider legs were gone...
"Strange..." Xu Mo murmured. [Just now, I clearly saw the monsters not far away, could it be...they just retreated like this? —Could it be that these rustling sounds and dangerous smells are just illusions? ] Xu Mo was a little puzzled.
"It's really not right..." Not only Xu Mo didn't want to understand, but Duo Rui was also stuck in a thought block. She lowered her voice and said to Xu Mo, "It was really not like this when I came in last time... I didn't leave After a few steps, I encountered a moss-covered spider, which was very difficult to fight... I was almost entangled and trapped here by the spider web he spit out, and finally crawled back to the protective circle area of the teleportation light wheel. However, this How could I walk for so long without encountering a single monster?…”
"Could it be that the difficulty of this map has been adjusted by the system?" Xu Mo leaned back into Dori's ear, and said an idea that even he thought was stupid...
"Could it be that there is a system error in this game?... Isn't it right? - No, I'm going to look around." Duo Rui whispered her thoughts, and at the same time, before Xu Mo stopped her, she had already acted and turned to the right Run a few steps sideways.
Noticing that Dori's formation deviated, the Linghu boy stopped suddenly, and Xu Mo, who was walking behind him, almost hit his back, and he clearly felt a deep sigh from him.
"Do you want to save it?" Ling didn't know whether this question was for himself or for Xu Mo.
At this moment, Dory's scream came—"Ah!!—Help!!!—"
"Save! I must save it! Please!" Xu Mo immediately grabbed Ling's arm and begged.
Zero took a breath, and said with a hint of impatience: "At first, I just wanted to keep one... Hey, forget it, idle is idle anyway."
As he spoke, he turned his body in the direction of Dori's scream, glanced at Xu Mo, and made the same reminder for the third time: "Remember to follow me closely."
While Xu Mo was nodding his head "Mmmm", the white-clothed spirit fox made a quick stride - rushed into the mist at high speed...

Zero disappeared from sight so quickly that Xu Mo, who had never seen the world much, was stunned for two seconds. After he reacted, there was a loud noise from the right side. At the same time, he felt that the rustling noises around him were getting closer, and the dangerous atmosphere was getting stronger and stronger. Xu Mo, who had a bad intuition, echoed zero times Another reminder - [Remember to follow me. ] — He stopped hesitating and ran towards the right side.
After running a few steps, Xu Mo suddenly stumbled and fell to the ground. Looking back, he saw that his right foot was bound by a sticky white net-like object, and he pulled it hard but had little effect. What surprised Xu Mo even more was that at this moment, the giant spider-like monster mentioned in Dory's description appeared in sight...
This monster crawled quickly with more than a dozen long legs bent. When it was bent, it was about the height of one person and the width of two people. dark green moss. At this moment, it is raising its two front legs intending to thrust towards Xu Mo's chest—
Xu Mo flusteredly raised the wooden-handled iron sword in his hand and swung it towards the spider's tentative legs and feet. At the same time, he took the opportunity to slash the spider web binding his right leg—one knife after another. Foot bondage. He rolled over and avoided the spider's legs and feet, then got up, concentrated his energy, and prepared to use his combat skills to deal with this obviously powerful monster.
After only two seconds of confrontation with the monster, the spider rushed straight over impatiently, put on a stance in Xu Momo, shouted "Stab forward!"—and swung the sword towards the spider's head—unfortunately, the sword hadn't touched it yet, He was hit in the chest by the spider's long legs. What's worse, a spider web spit out from the monster's mouth. people butchered...
Seeing that ugly spider swaying back and forth triumphantly in front of me several times, I felt self-loathing. I didn’t expect that the first sacrifice in this game would be dedicated to such an ugly monster. It’s really pitiful ... The spider finally ended the demonstration for fun, jumped up and rushed towards him, while Xu Mo closed his eyes, preparing for the first baptism of death after entering the Brave Continent—
