Of course, the external performance is the same, but the internal mechanism is not necessarily the same. The opponent's left hand may really be cursed... Richard continued to think.
But no matter what, one hand cannot be completely controlled, which will produce a lot of variables in the battle, which is a negative option for the wizard's combat effectiveness.
Three groups of people have failed in the mission of the Silent Forest. The Holos branch should be very aware of how dangerous the Silent Forest is. Under this premise, Holo, who has huge shortcomings, is also allowed to come. I am afraid that Holo is not as simple as a third-level wizard as he introduced himself before.
Maybe he has a big trump card.
Richard pursed his lips, thinking intently.
At this time, the wizard Holo said again: "My left hand is really out of control, so what it does is not what I want in my heart. It has done bad things. I can only express my apology and hope that both parties can You can understand.”
"It should be." Richard said.
"Maybe." Bobo Bovich was noncommittal, obviously because of his previous experience, he had a grudge against Holo. As he spoke, he took a big step to the side, trying to put as much distance between him and Holo as possible.
Holo read it and knew that continuing to explain would not change Bobo Bovich's mind, so she stopped talking. After giving an apologetic smile, he changed the subject and got down to business.
"Let's talk about the mission we are going to cooperate with this time. You two should have some basic information about the Silent Forest, so I won't go into details here." Holo said, "But for some of the latest news, I I hope I can communicate with you two.
First, there are many rivers in the Silent Forest. One of the rivers leaves the forest. One of our teams discovered some weird crystals downstream of it. Most of these crystals are dark blue and have high-energy reactions, but they are very unstable. Regardless of the method of contact, the crystals will evaporate within a few hours, so we have not obtained a sample so far. "
"High-energy reaction crystal?" Richard raised his eyebrows, showing some interest, but he didn't show it too eagerly. He listened patiently to Holo's continued words.
"Second, several of our team members excavated a strange demonized vine in the Dead Forest a few months ago. Our branch did not attach much importance to this demonized vine at the beginning. , just as a mutated individual. But just recently, we extracted a liquid component from the demonized vine, which is very special.
This liquid component can greatly increase a creature's combat effectiveness in a short period of time, but will cause the creature to die with a high probability afterwards. It can be said that this is a desperately needed ingredient. If the part that causes the death of living things can be purified, it can be used as a deadly poison. "
"Haven't you ever thought about slowing down or neutralizing the side effects of this ingredient and letting it be used to prepare strengthening potions?" After hearing Holo's words, Popo Bo Vicky couldn't help it out of the quality of a potion wizard. He leaned closer to Holo and said, "This should be worth more, right?"
Holo listened to Bobo Bo Vicki's words and smiled slightly: "Wizard Vicky, actually, our branch has tried your suggestion. But according to the wizards who specialize in research in our branch, this goal can really be achieved. , the difficulty is a bit high.”
"What's so high? I've thought of at least three ways to neutralize the side effects." Bobo Bovich said confidently.
"Really?" Holo confirmed.
"certainly!"
"How about this." Holo suggested constructively, "When the task is completed, Wizard Vicky, you stay in our branch and cooperate with us in relevant research. If it is really successful, we will report to Long Mei I will report to the supervisor and reward you with enough points."
"It's easy to talk about." Popobo Vicki couldn't help laughing when he heard that he would get points.
"That `s a deal."
"It's settled." Bobo Bovich smiled brighter, but while smiling, his expression froze, and he frowned and said, "There's something wrong."
"What's wrong?" Holo asked strangely.
"I don't know what's wrong." Popobo Vicki looked at Holo who was very close, and frowned deeply, "I had a great time talking to you, but I always feel like I've forgotten something. It's dangerous to forget something. The more I think about it, the more entangled I become, which makes me... "
"Snapped!"
Suddenly there was a crisp sound, and Holo's left hand fanned out like lightning, hitting Bobo Bo Vicki heavily on the face, interrupting Bobo Bo Vicki's words.
Bobo Bo Vicki was stunned at first, then relieved, exhaled, nodded slightly and said: "Huh--, I know what it is, it's right now."
Holo tried her best to retract her left hand, looked at Bobo Bo Vicky, and said with some embarrassment: "Wizard Vicky, I said I really didn't mean to do it. Do you believe it?"
"Of course I believe it." Bobo Bovich said, but the expression on his face said: If you believe it, there will be a ghost.
At this point, he has completely regarded Holo as a beautiful snake, very attractive - easy to arouse people's affection in all aspects, but also very deadly - because she will slap you in the face at any time.
Sure enough, he was still hit.
Bobo Bo Vicki distanced herself from Holo step by step, thinking with a stiff face.
Holo looked at it, gave a helpless smile, and said: "I'd better continue telling the information about the Silent Forest..."
…
Fast forward to the next day.
After a night's rest, Richard, Popovich and Holo, who had fully exchanged information, appeared at the edge of the withered forest.
At this time, Richard's face was calm, while Bobo Boovich was full of vigilance. More than half of his vigilance was on Holo. Always pay attention to Holo's movements so as not to close the distance unknowingly. Being slapped - thinking about it in retrospect, it is still a good thing to be slapped in the face, but it only attacks the upper body. If it attacks the lower body, the threat is greater, and I feel scared just thinking about it.
At the end of his mind, Bobo Bovich took a deep look at Holo.
Holo smiled bitterly at this, and returned an apologetic look to Bobo Bovich. Without saying anything, she took the lead and walked into the lonely forest.
After entering, you can see that the ground inside the forest is covered with thick leaves, some of which are dry, and some of which have rotted and melted into the soil. Because it contains too much humus, the soil in the forest is nutrient-rich dark brown, and the trees grow extremely tall, piercing the sky like spears.
Richard stepped inside and sniffed lightly with his nose. He could smell a slight sour smell in the surrounding air, like fermented vinegar, and also had an uncomfortable smell of oldness and decay.
"This forest must have existed for a long time, right?" Richard asked casually.
"According to records, it's at least three hundred years ago." Holo replied.
After that, Holo didn't speak again, and Richard didn't ask any more questions. The sound floated out, hit the trees and dissipated, leaving the forest eerily quiet.
Richard and Holo looked at each other and noticed this situation.
Bobo Bovich also noticed it and spoke seriously first: "Isn't this forest too quiet? Although it has the name of 'Silent', it is not a dead place. But now, there is no sound of any animals here, regardless of It doesn’t matter if it’s the chirping of birds or the chirping of insects or the roaring of wild animals.”
"I have a feeling." Holo said.
"How does it feel?" Popobo Vicki asked, taking a big step away from Holo.
Holo didn't pay attention to Bobo Bowitch's movements and replied: "I feel like all the animals in this forest have escaped."
"How to prove it?" Popobo Vicki took another big step away from Holo and asked aloud.
"Look." Holo said, bending down and pressing one hand on the ground. The lips opened and closed slightly, the spell was recited silently, and the spell was released.
"brush!"
A flash of purple light burst out from under Holo's hand and spread rapidly along the surface of the ground, like ripples in water. However, this "ripple" only spread for less than half a meter before its speed began to slow down. When it reached about one meter, it completely stopped and plunged violently underground.
