"Lord Regent..." A gentle yet stubborn voice suddenly came from behind, "Let Sophie accompany you."
Yin Kuang did not stop leaving, but waved his hand directly and walked away. Within a moment, Yin Kuang's slightly thin figure was covered by the snow and wind in the sky.
There was only one blue-skinned aura elf left, standing blankly outside the meeting tent.
Yin Kuang did not tell anyone about his departure this time. As for the "regent" outfit, Yin Kuang also stayed in the camp, wearing only a piece of crude leather armor, which was barely able to keep out the cold. And Yin Kuang also gave up on the horse that traveled thousands of miles a day.
He left on foot.
Because Yin Kuang felt that he needed to reflect on himself... He was indecisive before, let alone Tang Rouyu. Even now, Yin Kuang couldn't accept that kind of himself.
Ice-cold snowflakes fell on Yin Kuang's cheeks, and the stinging cold wind blew through the corners of Yin Kuang's eyes. Yin Kuang felt relaxed and happy as never before as he stepped on the thick snow that creaked on the ground. His heart was calmer than ever before, and his thoughts were smooth.
And just as Yin Kuang was walking under a snowdrift somewhere, a pair of small, pitch-black eyes suddenly appeared. But when a strong wind blew the snow on the ground and swept it across, those dark little eyes disappeared...
Yin Kuang set off at noon. Since he was moving only on two legs, his progress was very slow. It wasn't until it was getting dark that he came outside the "Black Forest".
This is a dark forest. Everything here is black. The trees are black, the rocks are black, the water is black, the concrete is black... Purpose, everything you can see, is black. The only difference is the shade of black. In a world filled with snow and white, this pitch-black forest looks quite strange.
In addition, this forest seems to have some kind of magic power. The white snow falling in this black forest will melt, then turn into black powder, and then fall to the ground. So it looks like a black drizzle is falling in this black forest.
According to Bai Lu, the meeting place agreed by Peter was in the very center of the black forest.
It is not difficult for Yin Kuang to find this place, because the map of the entire Narnia has been imprinted in Yin Kuang's mind. But what is rare is how to get through the Black Forest to its very center.
Throughout Narnia, this black forest is known as a cursed place. No matter which camp you belong to, everyone regards this forest as an absolutely forbidden area. In Narnia, terrifying legends about this forest are spread everywhere. Sometimes, the "Black Forest" causes psychological fear to the creatures of Narnia even more than the White Witch.
Obviously, Peter chose to meet Yin Kuang in this place to create a problem for Yin Kuang. Maybe he wants to express that even I, Peter, can safely pass through this cursed forest. If you can't get in, it proves that you are inferior to me!
What Peter thought about Yin Kuang didn't care at the moment. And now the fallen knight who was bewitched by the white witch would not find it strange that Yin Kuang had any thoughts in his heart. What Yin Kuang cares about now is how to get through the terrifying cursed forest in front of him, which was passed down by the creatures of Narnia.
Just when Yin Kuang took steps, a surprising voice suddenly sounded, "Yin Kuang!"
Yin Kuang was startled, turned his head and saw Wei Mingzheng stumbling from the side. At this time, Wei Ming looked very embarrassed and haggard. The whole person looked like someone who was drunk and stayed up late. He took one step at a time, as if he might fall to the ground at any time.
"Wei Ming, why are you here?" Yin Kuang went up to him and supported the shaky Wei Ming. Wei Ming said: "Yin Kuang, you are finally here... eh? What... why are you alone?" Yin Kuang helped Wei Ming and asked him to lean against a large bluestone leeward, and said, "I am the only one. .”
"Didn't Li Shuangmu and Bai Lu say they would gather an army to rescue Qian Qianqian?"
Yin Kuang said: "Since Peter has designated to see me, if I bring a lot of people to see him, I'm afraid that he will implicate Qian Qianqian in anger. Okay, let's not talk about this. Let's talk about your situation. , did you find anything?" Yin Kuang could probably imagine that neither Li Shuangmu nor Bai Lu had any intention of saving Qian Qianqian, and Li Shuangmu took this opportunity to push this difficult decision onto himself - in this way, he could both thwart his own The plan is big enough not to affect the harmony of the camp.
Yin Kuang no longer wants to comment too much on this... Right now, rescuing Qian Qianqian is the only goal! Now that you have decided, you must go out without regrets!
Wei Ming said "Oh" and said: "Oh... Okay. I followed them all the way here before, and saw the group of wild cattle escorting Qian Qianqian into the forest. Then I followed in. But, After entering, I discovered..." Perhaps because he spoke too hastily, Wei Ming coughed heavily, took a breath, and continued: "I discovered... this forest is so weird. After entering... I couldn't tell the direction at all. In addition, , there are all kinds of poisonous plants and ferocious creatures inside. Especially a kind of mushroom that can explode, and the black gas that spreads will cause people to have all kinds of terrifying hallucinations..." Speaking of this, Wei There was deep fear in Ming's eyes, "That kind of hallucinogenic black mist, even the antidote potions redeemed by universities are ineffective. It's really... too scary."
Yin Kuang listened quietly to Wei Ming's description, then patted Wei Ming on the shoulder and said, "Well, I understand. Wei Ming, thank you very much. Leave the rest to me."
After hearing this, Wei Ming struggled to stand up and said: "Yin Kuang, let me go with you. Anyway, I have been in and out of this ghost forest several times, so I can help to some extent. It's really difficult for you to go in alone. It's too dangerous." Yin Kuang shook his head, glanced at the black forest, and said, "You have done enough. Have a good rest and then rush back to the camp immediately. Maybe... your help is needed over there."
Wei Ming wanted to say something more, but was stopped by Yin Kuang's decisive eyes, and then he sighed helplessly, "Okay... then you should be careful along the way. By the way, if you really can't find the way in, just observe the black water falling inside. You can walk out of this ghost forest by walking in the opposite direction of the beads. I tried several times and successfully walked out. However, the place I enter and exit is different every time... "
Yin Kuang nodded, finally patted Wei Ming on the shoulder, then resolutely stepped forward, stepping on the muddy and smelly land, and walked towards the interior of the black forest.
"Be careful, Yin Kuang!" Wei Ming shouted one last time. But at this time, Yin Kuang's figure had been obscured by one dark dead tree after another, and he didn't know if he heard it.
After shouting, Wei Ming sighed heavily, rested for a while, and left.
At the same time that Yin Kuang entered the black forest, far away, a similarly thin and slender figure walked out of the pure white forest covered with heavy snow.
He was wearing a white tights that was the same color as the surrounding environment, a white hood, and even his face was covered with a white scarf. If you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't be able to tell that he was a person. Instead, you would think he was a tree covered in ice and snow. small tree.
And this person is none other than Wang Ning, the assassin who seems to always be alone. Even though he was wearing pure white at this time, he still couldn't hide the dark temperament exuding from his body.
The only thing that was different in color from the surrounding environment was Wang Ning's dark eyes, which were dark and deep.
Standing in the violent wind and snow, Wang Ning looked at the castle in the distance composed of large and small spiers, and narrowed his eyes slightly.
The building in the distance that is looming in the wind and snow, completely composed of large and small frozen towers, is the White Witch's lair - the Frozen Castle!
"Li Shuangmu...you must have told me that information on purpose, right?"
Looking at the castle in the distance, Wang Ning thought to himself: "While you are forcing Yin Kuang to make a choice, you are also forcing me to make a choice... Compared to Yin Kuang's all-pervasive thinking, your control of the overall situation is even more difficult. I'm afraid... You know that I can't remain indifferent after knowing the information about the 'World Mission', and my only chance to defeat you is..." Obviously, Wang Ning didn't really leave at that time.
"But I have to bite the bullet and jump into it even though I know it's a trap!!... You guys keep scheming and scheming. Sooner or later, I, Wang Ning, will be proud of you. Cut off all the brains!”
"Giggle!"
It was the sound of gnashing teeth.
Then, he took firm steps and moved cautiously towards the Snow White Castle under the cover of ice and snow...
