Yin Meng had no ill will towards this tall, righteous-looking man from Western Land.
In the main hospital, Don Colt was famous for his integrity and stubbornness, but this man had no affinity for insidiousness, so he was often taken advantage of and assigned by the bishops to do thankless tasks.
"Let me guess. Josh sent you here to disguise you as gold diggers and investigate our purpose of entering the Reverse Realm."
Hearing Yin Meng's words, Tang Colt waved his hands in panic: "No, no, no, I, I..."
Looking at his expression, Yin Meng knew that her guess was correct.
Josh is one of the bishops of the main hospital, and he was also the initiator of the detention of the East Hospital personnel in this incident.
The short old man was as cunning as a fox and as insidious as a poisonous snake.
"Okay, take your people back and tell Josh that we are going to the Misty Forest to collect some materials."
Yin Meng looked at the temple on the ground: "Besides, you don't want them to continue to get hurt or lose their lives, right?"
Don Colt looked around, then frowned and asked, "Are you really going to the Misty Forest?"
Yin Meng pointed to the road ahead: "Isn't this direction the way to the Misty Forest? There's no need for me to lie to you, just go."
Tang Colt then said, "Okay, but Miss Yinmeng, we are all members of the church. We all believe in the Lord of War, so I think there is no need to hide what you are going to do from us."
A chuckle came from the magnetic car.
The car door opened, Tianyang got out, looked at the tall knight and said, "You are not suitable to stay in the church, especially in a place like the West Continent Headquarters."
Tang Colt looked Tianyang up and down: "Who are you?"
"It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that if you stay in the main hospital, the light in you will be extinguished one day."
Tianyang said meaningfully.
The tall knight frowned: "What do you want to say?"
"Go ask your bishop, or investigate secretly yourself. Find out where the people you send to the Rebel Realm every year come from." Tianyang gestured for the Silver Knights to come back. "But I want to remind you that the truth is not so easy to accept. Sometimes, living in a muddle-headed way is not necessarily a bad thing."
After he said that, he got into the magnetic car.
Yin Meng frowned, looked at Tang Colt again, and returned to the car with Ye Xiao and Xing Luo.
Watching Tianyang and the other four's magnetic energy vehicle leave, Tang Colt frowned and said, "What on earth is he trying to say? Aren't the people we send to the Reverse Realm every year believers recruited from all over the place?"
"There's nothing to investigate."
"Sir, what shall we do next..." The bearded man came back and looked at the Silver Knight in front of him.
"Let's go back. Since we've been discovered and we can't defeat them, there's no point in following them. Besides, they're going to the Misty Forest. You all know how dangerous that forest is, needless to say."
Don Colt waved his hand: "We won't join in the fun."
Hearing what he said, the churches breathed a sigh of relief and packed up their things, preparing to walk back.
en route.
Sitting in the co-pilot seat, Yin Meng said softly: "Mr. Tianyang, you just
if... "
Tianyang glanced at her: "What's wrong?"
"I am very concerned about what you just said. I know that the headquarters of the Western Continent sends a large number of people into the Reverse Realm every year. According to them, these personnel are believers recruited from dioceses in various places."
"Do you believe it?"
Yin Meng was slightly shocked and said, "You mean, these people in the West Frontier Hospital are not believers. Then what are they?"
Tianyang smiled without saying anything.
Yin Meng and Ye Xiao exchanged glances, shock flashed in their eyes, and they whispered a word at the same time: "Slave?"
Yin Meng then exclaimed, "This is impossible. Why would the headquarters use slaves? Where did they get the slaves?"
Ye Xiao snorted and said, "Perhaps this is indeed possible. Otherwise, how do we explain where their exaggerated number of personnel came from?"
"I told you so. Even if the church has a great influence in the Western Continent, it is impossible for it to send so many believers to the Reverse Realm every year."
Yin Meng looked at Tian Yang suddenly: "Could it be that your so-called cooperation with Bishop Guan Feng..."
Tianyang glanced at her calmly: "That has nothing to do with you."
Yin Meng shook her head and sighed softly, then continued, "Mr. Tianyang, you just said that to Don Colt on purpose. You know that with his personality, once he has doubts, he will take action and eventually uncover the darkness of the church."
"You want to make the headquarters collapse from the inside, but have you ever thought that for Don Colt, the church is his faith. If you do this, his faith will collapse."
"Does it not bother you that you are using such an honest man to achieve your goals?"
Tian Yang laughed: "Ms. Yin Meng, first of all, your church already has various problems, and these problems are not caused by me. Even without Tang Colt, its darkness will be exposed to the sun one day."
"Secondly, shouldn't you believe in the Lord of War? The church is just a form of expression of faith, but it does not represent the faith itself. What the church does has nothing to do with the Lord of War. If Don Colt collapses because of this, it can only be said that there is something wrong with his faith."
"Finally, even if Don Colt is indeed an upright man, he is not my friend. Even if I suddenly arranged him as a chess piece, even if he collapsed because of it, yes, I will not feel uneasy."
"Are you satisfied with this?"
Yin Meng didn't respond, but just nodded.
No conversation along the way.
At about 2pm fortress time, the magnetic car stopped. Yin Meng looked at the map and said, "We can only go this far. If we go further, we will reach the Misty Forest."
"The car can't be driven in. Not only can it not drive, but the lush plants in the forest will try to devour our means of transportation."
Tianyang had no objection. He opened the car door and helped carry a bag of food. "Remember, we have only one goal. The heart of the dense fog tree man. As long as we get this material, we will return immediately."
A moment later, the four of them advanced towards the Misty Forest in the form of a team, with Yin Meng and Xing Luo leading the way, Tian Yang walking in the middle, and Ye Xiao covering the rear.
They turned on their lights and kept an eye on their feet. As they approached the forest, they could see the ground opening up.
Some plants began to appear.
Those were some black grasses, clumps upon clumps of them, like a tangled mass of black hair. When the wind blew, the hair-like grass blades would dance, and when the light shone on them, it looked as if there were people buried in the ground.
These people were 'planted' in the ground, with only their heads sticking out, and they always had their backs to Tianyang and the others.
After entering the forest, Tianyang tried to communicate with the black fog and extend his perception. But after trying, he found that it became difficult to communicate with the black fog in the forest. Not only did the distance of perception extended by the black fog become shorter, but the feedback information was like a communicator with poor signal reception, which caused a delay. It often took two or three seconds to receive some images.
Tianyang simply cut off the connection with the black fog to avoid making wrong judgments due to delayed feedback.
As they walked, Tianyang saw Yinmeng occasionally put a bottle cap-sized device on the tree trunks they saw along the way. Seeing Tianyang looking at her, she explained, "This is a signal enhancement device. It can enhance the signals of our positioning systems, so that we know where we are and don't get lost."
"If you lose your way in the misty forest, you may never get out."
Tianyang also noticed that after entering the forest, the fog became noticeably thicker, but it was not the common black fog, but rather the water mist like the one outside the Clave Gate.
Grayish-white fog filled the forest, making visibility very low. If the team members were too far apart, they would not be able to see the people in front and behind them, and even could not hear any sound.
So the forest was exceptionally quiet, so quiet that it seemed as if they had entered another world.
The vegetation in the forest was very lush, with hair-like grass everywhere, and the trees were tall and strong, but grayish white. The surface was covered with spots, and looked like a giant corpse.
"What dark folks are there in the Misty Forest?"
Tianyang asked, firstly to understand more about the Misty Forest, and secondly to create a topic to break the silence.
Yin Meng seemed to want to say something, so she answered: "The most common ones are gray tree people. They look similar to the trees we see now, and they are asleep most of the time. They move slowly, and although they are very powerful, they pose the least threat. Ordinary people can easily kill them because they are afraid of fire like real trees."
"The Tree Guards are stronger black people. They are shorter, about half the height of the Gray Tree Guards. Their branches, leaves, and fruits are all weapons. They are very bloodthirsty. Once they catch their prey, they will eat it up completely without even spitting out the bones."
"Also, there is a kind of black creature without a physical body in the forest, the fog monster."
"It is difficult to distinguish them from the fog in the forest. They will hide in the thick fog, outline some seemingly real figures, make some sounds, confuse and interfere with your judgment, lure you into the depths of the forest, and make you completely lost."
"Well, according to the information provided by the headquarters, some priests who study the Misty Forest believe that our emotions will be amplified when we are in the Misty Forest and will be received by the Misty Demon, which will then create a form that can confuse us. However, there is no actual evidence to support this."
As she was talking, Yin Meng suddenly stopped. Just in front of them, under the light, several figures vaguely appeared in the mist, as if there were other explorers in the forest, and they were approaching Tianyang and the others...
