Chapter 238

The dark forest is full of trees that have grown for hundreds or even thousands of years. The light here is dim, and the sun stingily leaves a few spots on the ground through the dense canopy.

Due to the lack of sunlight, there are no shrubs on the forest ground. The ground is covered by rotten dead leaves and all kinds of fungi, and there is no color of soil.

For thousands of years, human exploration of the dark forest has never been interrupted. However, exploration teams deep into the dense forest rarely return safely. This is not because of the monster orcs and endless poisonous insects and beasts in the forest, but because the dark, cold, humid and corrupt environment and the same giant trees make the exploration teams unable to find their way home, Finally lost in the endless forest.

Over time, this vast forest has become a forbidden area for human beings and a paradise for wild animals.

On the edge of the dark forest, there are a large number of wild boars, forest deer, white headed apes, iguanas, anteaters, snake badgers, jackals, spotted Bobcats and moon blade leopards, as well as all kinds of birds, including ferocious varieties, and of course, ORC monsters such as jackals, goblins and dog heads. However, the most frightening are those poisonous insects hidden under the fallen leaves. No one knows where they will drill out and give a fatal blow to people.

A team of more than ten people walked through the forest. They were wearing leather armor hunting clothes, carrying bows and arrows, and the slight sound of long hard leather boots trampling on dead branches was particularly harsh in the quiet forest. The timid and cautious forest deer avoided the team from a distance, and the white headed apes who liked to squat on the tree crown and laugh at hunters disappeared at this time.

There was a sound of big birds flapping their wings in the air.

A young hunter responded quickly. He raised his hand to signal the team to stop, silently pulled out a sharp arrow and put it on the bow string.

The dense branches and leaves covered the hunter's sight, and there was a dark green on the tree crown, and nothing could be seen. However, when the big bird folded its wings and landed on the top of the tree, the young hunter rushed forward two steps with the guidance of his voice, jumped high, and shot his sharp arrow at the dark canopy.

With the crack of the broken branches, many leaves fell from the air, while the big bird was caught by the thicker branches.

Another agile Hunter climbed up a 20 meter tall tree in twos and threes. When he slid down, he carried a big green bird in his hand.

The young hunter took the prey from his companion and said happily, "green feather Heron! This is a rare delicacy." Then he shouted to the team, "Victor, you let me do this."

Victor shrugged his shoulders and said, "Clifton, I didn't help you this time."

Clifton smiled, walked up to victor and said affectionately, "Victor, thanks to you, I learned blind shooting. I never thought I could shoot prey only by my ears."

This is not a compliment. Victor seldom shot this hunt, but he always got something every time. In the dark environment, even knights are difficult to lock the prey hidden in the branches and leaves, but they can hardly escape Victor's sharp arrow. Those sensitive and noisy white headed apes were shot and killed several times by Victor, which made them hide away. Otherwise, the hunt would have ended hastily.

Victor smiled and said nothing. He can lock the target within 300 meters in the noisy and dark environment by hearing. Even the mouse hidden in the underground hole can't hide Victor's perception. There is not only the reason of blood talent, but also the super resolution of x-3. This amazing shooting technique also attracted Clifton's interest. He kept trying blind shooting skills under the guidance of victor.

Victor guided the hunting team to go deeper and deeper. They had unconsciously walked in the dark forest for three days, getting closer and closer to Victor's destination.

"Victor, we've been out for three days. Let's go back. I don't want the Schultz knights to run in with a large team to find us. They won't be able to get lost in the forest." Clifton threw his prey to his retinue knight and suggested a return.

Clifton loved hunting, which also brought him closer to victor, but he did not forget his mission. If it were not for learning blind shooting, they would have returned to thorn thorn manor as agreed.

"It's really time to go back." Victor nodded and said, "let's go back to the camp to tidy up, eat and start." Victor asked the unarmed warrior, "master soloto, what's your opinion?"

"Whatever." Soloto said inevitably.

When the three leaders agreed, the team turned back.

Two quarters of an hour later, the team arrived at the preset camp. There are more than a dozen left behind people in the camp. They have raised a bonfire and are busy dealing with all kinds of prey.

Clifton went to the campfire and complained, "the dark forest is so wet. If we hadn't prepared oil and wood in advance, I'm afraid it would be troublesome to make a fire. It's only three days. I think I'm covered with mushrooms."

"I really like it here." Murmured victor.

There was a smell of corruption everywhere in the camp, and Victor still took a deep breath. Since the moment he stepped into the forest, Victor found that his perception had become particularly sharp and his mood was calm with joy. He could even feel the faint throbbing of blood, and this feeling became more and more obvious as he went deep into the dark forest.

"It has something to do with your moon elf blood." The ruling warrior soloto came up with two tree iguanas and said, "the spirit is the son of nature. Where the breath of life is strong, it is easy to resonate with the spirit's blood. In the dark forest, do you feel that your dark vision is much stronger than that in other places?"

Seeing Victor frowning in surprise, soloto said faintly, "don't be surprised. I studied at the ivory Castle monastery for seven years. The knowledge collected there is not lost to the Silver Tower."

"Master, are you from ivory castle? That's the birthplace of the Silver Tower." Clifton was awed.

Ivory Castle monastery is the first of the three monasteries of the church. Only the elite of the clergy are qualified to study in Ivory castle. It is said that there are countless knowledge and secrets collected there, including ancient books in the era of the chosen one. Arya, the founder of the Silver Tower, has lived in Ivory castle for a long time by chance. Therefore, ivory castle can be said to be the birthplace of the Silver Tower.

Soloto studied in Ivory castle. It's not surprising that he understands the dim vision of the moon elves. Victor nodded and said, "ten percent more."

"Master, I've never felt this way in the forest of Renma hill. Is the natural smell of the dark forest stronger than that of other forests?" Victor refrained from asking.

"It's not the breath of nature, it's the breath of life, or the element of void water. But I'm not a knight, and I can't directly sense the changes of void elements." Soloto corrected Victor's words and looked at Clifton.

Clifton waved his hand and said, "don't look at me. I'm not a great Knight of internal and external communication, and I can't perceive the empty elements of the outside world."

"We have no way to perceive the elements of void water, but many details confirm that this forest is very strange." Soloto nodded, threw the two tree iguanas by the campfire and said, "do you find any difference between the two tree iguanas?"

"One big and one small, one male and one female. From the lines on the tail, the big one is two years old and the small one is four years old..." Clifton frowned, took two tree iguanas in his hands and observed them carefully. He suddenly jumped up and shouted, "no! It's unreasonable!"

"What's going on?" Victor asked in a daze.

"Victor, the longer the tree iguana lives, the bigger it is, and the individual of the female iguana is much larger than that of the male iguana." Clifton explained, "but these two tree iguanas are just the opposite." At this point, Clifton gestured a 1.1-meter-long male iguana, shook his head and exclaimed, "to tell you the truth, I've never seen such a big male iguana."

Soloto interface said: "the small female iguana was captured at the place where she camped yesterday, and the large male iguana was captured at this camp. That is to say, the farther you go into the forest, the faster the iguana grows and the larger it is. This shows that the distribution of void water elements in the dark forest is extremely uneven. This is by no means a normal phenomenon!"

"Look again." Soloto went to the huge tree next to the camp, pointed to the cross scratch on the trunk and said, "this is the mark we left on the trunk. It has grown like this in only one day."

Victor found that the edge of the cross scratch on the trunk was much thinner than yesterday, and the bark at the edge of the scratch was obviously healing.

"At this rate of healing, there will be no traces or scars on the bark in five days at most. No wonder a cavalry team will fall into the dark forest." Victor nodded.

"Let's get the hell out of here." Clifton said hastily.

"Don't worry, the strange phenomenon of the dark forest has long been recorded. I just verified it myself." Soloto smiled and said, "we won't get lost if there are popular shooters."

"That's true." Clifton breathed a sigh of relief, turned and shouted to the people in the camp, "call back all the guard posts outside, count the number, and we'll return in a minute."

When victor and Clifton were going to hunt in the dark forest, they were met by Crusoe Schultz Knight's strong opposition. Knight Crusoe told Victor that the dark forest was as strange and unpredictable as a maze. It was difficult for humans to identify the direction in the dense forest. It was very dangerous to enter the dark forest rashly. Victor said they only hunt at the edge of the forest and will never get lost. Then Victor climbed the crown of the tree more than 20 meters high and stood on the thin branches easily. Knight Crusoe was speechless.

The popular shooter with extraordinary vision can distinguish the straight direction from the tree crown. Of course, they can't get lost in the forest. Crusoe even believed that as long as victor was there, they were fully capable of exploring the core of the dark forest. Crusoe was going to join the hunting team, but Clifton turned him back

Clifton said that the dark forest is not Baron Schultz's territory, and hunting is not war. What are you doing with so many people? Finally, Victor made a round. He asked Crusoe to station his soldiers outside the forest. If the hunting team encounters an emergency, he can take people to support in time. Crusoe thought and agreed, but Victor thought he believed in the strength of the ruling warrior soloto.

Finally, Clifton led 4 trainee knights and 5 elite soldiers, Victor led Renault, 19 alchemy militia and master soloto, a total of 32 people formed a hunting team, and agreed to return to thorn manor within three days. As for the Elena sisters, one eyed Gru and shack, and the rest of the guards, Victor stayed at thorn thorn manor.

In the past three days, the hunting team captured a lot of prey, which was cumbersome to deal with. The alchemy militia bound animal skins, roasted dried meat, buried internal organs, selected beautiful feathers, and disposed of the heads of several prey, which Clifton indicated to take back to make specimens.

The alchemy militia handled their prey skillfully and carefully, but the speed was not fast. After being busy for four quarters of an hour, I finally got everything in order. At this time, a very slight movement came from the depths of the forest.

coming!

Victor's heart was happy, but his face showed an alert look, "there's something moving! Coming this way!"

Soloto stood up for the first time, his ears moved, frowned and said, "how fast! Everyone be on alert!"

"It's like the sound of a wolf running." A moment later, Clifton also heard the sound in the dense forest. He smiled and said, "before leaving, there are still prey to the door. Take my hunting bow and I'll shoot an arrow with my eyes closed. It's lucky if I don't hit it."

Clifton closed his eyes and drew the arrow with the bow pointing in the direction of the sound. The sound of paws trampling on dead branches became louder and louder until it was clearly audible. Clifton shot out with an arrow when the beast broke into the range of the hunting bow.

Without hearing the expected wail and the sound of sharp arrows penetrating the body, Clifton sighed, opened his eyes, and his pupils shrank to the size of the tip of a needle.

"Fierce wolf!"
