Chapter 363 - Whispers

“Cough, cough, cough…”

Jerry almost choked on his saliva.

This idea that was inspired by flashlights was termed “Jerry’s guidance” by Apollo.

To be honest, it was very embarrassing!

Apollo explained, “This light could guide people in the dark, and it was developed under the guidance of His Majesty, so I thought the name would be suitable!”

Jerry hurriedly waved his hand, “No, no, just call it ‘flashlight’.”

“Flashlight?”

Apollo chewed on the name carefully. It was a term he did not understand, but from His Majesty’s mouth, there was always a sense of grandeur and sacredness.

“Well, we shall call it flashlight.”

Apollo knelt on one knee, “But I would like to thank His Majesty for the guidance!”

…

The only person who wasn’t shocked was Brada.

As a player from the Empire Era, Brada came from the same era as Jerry.

His first reaction was, who brought the flashlight?

Therefore, he was also one of the calmest people at the moment.

Using Apollo’s “flashlight”, the strange tree was finally visible.

The pitch-black branch was riddled with holes with an indescribable appearance. The disgusting, black, sticky liquid flowed out of the puncture holes on the branch, and every hole was like a mouth that was drooling.

A gust of wind blew past, and he could even hear the sound of the wind passing through the puncture holes, as well as the smell of rotting flesh.

This was not the smell of a tree. The more Brada stared, the more he felt that the tree in front of him was more like meat that was piled up against each other.

His consciousness blurred, and incomprehensible voices began to occupy his mind…

Suddenly, his vision went black.

When he came back to his senses, he realized that Apollo had turned off the “flashlight.”

He panted heavily. He did not have any clues about what had just happened.

Looking around, everyone showed some discomfort, either holding their heads or lying on the ground.

Only Jerry stood upright, his eyes shining with a blue light that was even more majestic than that of a god.

“These things seemed to affect the mind.”

After stopping his divine sense, this was the first time Jerry felt a hint of fatigue.

The moment he saw the whole picture of these trees, a hint of unease welled up in his heart.

Thus, he activated his divine sense. At the same time, whispers began to appear in his mind, carrying an intense spiritual power.

Fortunately, his divinity was high enough and coupled with his strong will, he was able to keep his consciousness awake.

Otherwise, no one would have ordered Apollo to turn off his domain. If everyone continued to watch, the consequences would be unimaginable.

“It seems that this Black Forest Island was more dangerous than I imagined.”

Jerry thought to himself and lifted Apollo, who could not stand steadily and continued,

“I’m sorry, it seems that I couldn’t let you use your domain for the time being. These trees shouldn’t be looked at directly.”

Apollo nodded. It took him a while to recover some of his divinity.

“But then again, what were these things that could use spiritual attacks on a tier three god king?”

Jerry was not sure if his ability could defeat these strange trees.

He was ready to use one of his trump cards, the three layers of the god-forbidden realm, if necessary.

“Your Majesty, I think we should make some adjustments before we move…”

Brada dragged his heavy steps and limped forward to speak.

Jerry nodded as he thought the same.

Not everyone could remain safe from such a spiritual attack. Until now, Simmons was still lying on the ground talking nonsense that he could not understand and the other subordinates were no better.

Just as Jerry was about to order them to regroup and search for the long spear, he suddenly felt a large amount of energy approaching!

This energy was what he felt when he came to the island. Now, it had returned!

The enemy was speedy. It would not be long before they arrived here!

Jerry took a look at everyone’s situation.

Simmons’s murmurs became softer but it would take some time for him to wake up completely.

Apollo’s situation was not good either. His divinity had not completely recovered, and he was gasping for breath with his hands on his knees.

Ares was in a clearing, waving his fists wildly in the air. He suddenly stopped, as if he was sleepwalking.

Meanwhile, Brada, who had just joined the Sky Dynasty today, was standing in a daze. His eyes were empty and had no fighting spirit at all.

Jerry wanted to make preparations to face the enemy, but he could not say it out loud.

“Forget it, it was hard on everyone, take a good rest.”

Jerry uttered to the air, walking to the front alone, ready to face the enemy.

…

“Polos! How many men do you have left!”

Spicer almost roared as he asked. Almost all of his men had died as bait, and the size of the team was decreasing.

“There’s the only one left… Oh my god, these monkeys are still chasing!”

Polos looked back in despair. Countless shadows were jumping in the dark forest, and each of them was a tier three god king mud monkey!

At this time, Polos’s eyes suddenly flashed.

He noticed a ray of light for the first time since he came to Black Forest Island.

“This way!”

Polos suddenly turned and ran toward the light.

At this moment, he did not care whether the ray of light was a friend or foe. He would be caught sooner or later so he might as well seek some change.

Soon, an open beach appeared in front of Polos.

On this beach, he could vaguely see a figure standing.

The figure only had a black outline, but the pair of pale blue eyes that were like flowing flames were exceptionally clear in the darkness.

On the ground of the beach, there were a few people who were unable to move.

Polos was overjoyed!

He had already discovered that the group of people on the beach must be other trial-takers.

For some unknown reason, only one of these trial-takers could move while the others looked exhausted!

If he could lure the mud monkeys here, those monsters would torture the trial-takers.

He could use this opportunity to shake off them off!

Polos and Spicer looked at each other. The two of them had the same thought!

At this moment, Jerry’s divine sense told him that two figures were approaching the beach.

And further behind, countless strange energy bodies were moving rapidly. The way they moved was more like jumping.

Jerry almost understood.

It should be the other trial-takers that were being chased by the monsters.

After a short thought, Jerry decided to save the two trial-takers.

The first reason was they could directly exchange information with each other.

After all, Jerry had many things that he urgently wanted to know about Black Forest Island. For example, what was going on with these trees? Other than the dark environment, was there any other way to avoid spiritual attacks?
