Seeing that I had successfully killed the straight-walking lizard with one blow, Koger was surprised and ran over from above. Because he was too far away, he didn't see clearly that I used Evil God Slash. At most, he only knew that I used a knife. That's all, I don't intend to reveal anything. Some things are better kept a little mysterious.
With a laugh, I said to Kog excitedly: "Okay, our mission has been completed. Let's take a rest. Take a rest, and we'll rush back right away."
After hesitating for a moment, Koger tentatively said to me: "Captain, this is the edge of the dark forest, so... I want to go back and have a look, I don't know..."
Can I say no to Koger's demands? Obviously... I can't. If it weren't for Koger, I don't know where he is now. How could I have found this place so quickly and captured the straight-walking lizard
Thinking of this, without saying a word, I waved my hand and said cheerfully: "Every question, Kog... Just lead the way, and I will accompany you to see your Xihi residence."
Koger thanked me excitedly, and then raised his hand slightly. A little girl of thirteen or fourteen appeared out of thin air in front of Koger. I knew...this was the concubine Huan in Koger's self-introduction!
Caressing the concubine's hair lovingly, Koger said gently: "Little concubine, go and stop all the straight lizards that block our way home. We are going home!"
The concubine nodded expressionlessly, and then walked slowly towards the depths of the swamp. When I was secretly worried about her, Koger said with a smile: "Okay, captain, we can go!"
I looked at Koger in confusion, and saw that he was leading the way, following closely behind Concubine, and quickly walked towards the forest in the distance. I was slightly stunned, but I didn't dare to neglect, and quickly followed.
Trekking in the muddy swamp, Koger pointed around from time to time. Looking in the direction he pointed, he saw either a dead tree root or a piece of bluestone exposed in the mud. They were transformed from straight-walking lizards. .
Especially when walking to a dense area, there are hundreds of objects transformed into straight-moving lizards within a radius of 100 meters. If they were surrounded, it would be very dangerous.
Fortunately, Feifei's ability is really special. Even if we pass by those objects transformed from straight-walking lizards, they will not take the initiative to attack us. The magic is really surprising.
After easily walking through the swamp area where lizards gathered, we finally came to the dark forest. When I stood in front of the dark forest, I finally understood why it was named after darkness.
The dark forest is definitely a primitive forest. Every tree is very lush. The smallest one requires several people to hug it. It is also very high. You have to look up to see the top of the tree.
There are basically no branches on the trunk. The trunk is as straight as a pencil. When it is more than ten meters above the ground, it suddenly stretches out dense branches. The branches are covered with large leaves, completely blocking the entire sky. , the whole forest was dark and looked a bit eerie.
The ground of the forest is still a swamp. Although it is not as deep as the swamp outside, a large amount of water accumulates where the tree roots touch the ground, making the forest very muddy.
And... the entire swamp in the forest is constantly emitting black mist, making the already dark forest become even darker.
This is a forest that is definitely not suitable for human habitation. It is damp and gloomy. It is difficult to imagine how Kog has lived here for so many years.
Back in the dark forest, Kog seemed to have returned to his own home. He moved quickly. In order to continue to keep up with him, I had to leap up. My feet frequently used force on the tree trunks and quickly followed Kog.
After running for more than three hours, finally... a piece of dry land appeared in front of me, but... this piece of land was not large, only about ten meters in diameter. It was the only piece of dry land I saw after entering the dark forest. .
In the middle of the dry land, there is a small dirt bag. I think... that is Master Kog's grave. It looks quite pitiful. There is only such a small pile. If you don't look carefully, you will simply ignore it. .
Remembering that there were still some white jade leftovers in the space bag, I couldn't help but feel moved. I quickly took them out and pieced them together piece by piece. Soon... a mausoleum that was not grand but absolutely beautiful appeared in the center of the open space.
Koger looked at me gratefully, but didn’t say anything. After kowtowing respectfully in front of the grave twice, he stood up slowly, with a flash of light in his eyes, and said mysteriously: "Captain! I will lead you." You go to a mysterious place, which is the core area of the dark forest. It is a strange place. Back then... Feifei was caught on the edge of the core area!"
I heard that such a weird magical beast as Concubine was caught there, I immediately became interested and said impatiently: "Then what are you waiting for? Let's go quickly!"
Koger nodded lightly and said: "Okay, I'll take you there now, but... it's really weird there. I tried my best to not enter the core area, and the most recent time, I only entered it." In the fringe area a few hundred meters away from the core area, that's when I caught Huan Fei!"
I waved my hand carelessly and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I'm not afraid of danger just like you. As for difficulties! There are challenges only when there are difficulties. Just lead the way."
Koger shrugged his shoulders and said nothing more. He turned and walked towards the depths of the dark forest, following closely behind Koger. I excitedly imagined that if I could also have a humanoid phantom beast, that would be it. How awesome! You know... humanoid monsters and phantom beasts are very rare.
After walking for more than an hour, finally... Without Koger's explanation, I knew that we had arrived at the end of the field. The surrounding trees were getting thicker, especially when we stepped on the top of the trees and looked into the distance, which was about a few kilometers away from us. There is a group of big trees that are twice as tall and twice as thick as the surrounding trees. I think... that should be the core area of the dark forest!
We encountered a lot of strange monsters on the road, but... because the concubine was there, we didn't have to fight at all, so we just kept walking.
Finally, Kog stopped in front. I couldn't help but speed up my pace and rushed to Kog's side quickly. I asked doubtfully: "What's wrong, Kog? Why don't you keep walking?"
Koger looked seriously at the obviously different trees in front of him, and said solemnly: "The purple forest in front is the edge of the core area!"
After a pause, Koger said doubtfully: "I have come here countless times before and entered the edge area, but... I don't know what happened. Once I entered the purple forest area, after walking around for a while, I So I’m back here again, and I haven’t been able to get in any deeper!”
Turning his head and looking at me with a stern expression, Koger said carefully: "Fei Fei was caught in this forest area, so... the monsters here are also immune to Fei Fei's charm. Once they encounter a monster, We are about to fight. The monsters here are very powerful. Although they may not be able to stump us, they... also increase the difficulty for us to enter!"
Shaking my head, I said nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter so much, let's go in first and talk about it first. I want to see what the secrets are!"
Koger nodded. He didn't know how to walk the rest of the way, so... we entered the purple forest area side by side and walked towards the core of the dark forest.
As soon as I entered the purple forest area, I clearly felt that the surrounding atmosphere had changed. It was completely different from the outside. There were huge dangers lurking around, and disasters might befall us at any time.
The feeling of fear slowly rose from my heart, but... I didn't have the slightest fear, but became excited. Unfortunately... the fear now has not made me feel that my life is threatened, otherwise... I would be even more excited.
