Chapter 140: Jia Jia in the Ghost Forest
In the jungle of the sea of flowers, an exploration team of five people came.
Walking at the front was a man about one meter tall, shaped like a mouse with a raised chest and belly. He was the guide Bock.
Walking behind him was the hunter Lu Ling, who was skinny in human form and walked lightly. She always walked in the shadows. If you didn't pay attention, it would be as if she didn't exist.
The last two people in the team were two insect men, their whole bodies covered with pink exoskeletons, looking like two orchid mantises.
The delicate color looks very conspicuous, but it is an excellent protective color in this jungle of flowers.
This is a pair of brothers and sisters, the one with a thick build is the elder brother who is carrying a fine iron stick on his back.
The slender one is my younger sister Shou Ye, carrying two large baskets of feather arrows on her back. In her hand is a ferocious bone bow.
Chen Ming was walking in the center of the team. He was dressed in smart clothes, carrying a round shield and a heavy sword on his back. His gray hair was spread out, and his young face showed calmness and calmness in his eyes.
The team has been walking in the jungle for six days. Thanks to the protection of these four people, there were no accidents along the way.
Everyone came to the edge of a forest that was obviously different from the surrounding flower jungle.
The height of jungle flowers and trees in other places is generally thirty to forty meters, and the highest is about fifty meters high.
The flowers and trees here are all at a height of seventy or eighty meters, nearly a hundred meters. The trees are not only tall, but also have strangely shaped branches.
The sun is shining brightly outside, but here it looks dark and deep because of the tall trees and dense flowers.
Guide Bock glanced into the dark forest and looked at Chen Ming nervously.
"Master, this is the Ghost Forest. It is almost the most dangerous place in the jungle. Do we really want to go in?"
Chen Ming sensed the location of Jiajia and the four others. Yes, they were all in this forest, and the sense was extremely obvious.
It's been so long since I left the Haunted Mansion Station, and I finally got here, how could I back down?
Chen Ming said without hesitation: "Go in!"
Bock frowned and walked directly in without saying anything.
Everyone also followed into the ghost forest.
Because the trees in the ghost forest are so tall, the ground barely receives any sunlight.
Apart from the fluorescent moss covering the tree trunks and the ground, there are not many plants visible.
When people walk up there, it's like walking in a bright or dark will-o'-the-wisp.
There was a smell of rotten and moldy trees in the air.
There are birds chirping in the canopy, but from a distance it becomes a bit eerie.
And the strange noises coming from time to time in the darkness always make people nervous.
Everyone walked for two hours. When the faint fluorescence in front of them became less and less like will-o'-the-wisps, Bock stopped.
"Master, if you go further inside, you'll find the depths of the ghost forest. It's too dangerous there. Let's search on the outside!"
Chen Ming sensed that the four sisters seemed to be very close, and the feeling of fluctuation was very strong.
"Go further in, and the person I'm looking for is very close!"
Bock said: "Master, you have reached your limit if you go here. If you go further, there will be no way to ensure your safety."
As he spoke, he cast a look of help at the others. After all, if Chen Ming died, no one else here would be able to live.
Lu Ling said: "Master, after we entered the ghost forest, we didn't see any large beasts or ferocious animals."
"According to my experience, in the wild, the farther away you can see animals, the more dangerous it is, because there may be big terrors there that scare them."
Chen Ming pondered for a moment, then closed his eyes and entered the soul world, telling Xiao Ma to stay in Jiajia's soul, because Xiao Ma knew better than he could sense Jiajia.
Chen Ming opened his eyes. To the outside world, Chen Ming only blinked.
Now when he felt it, Chen Ming felt happy. It felt like he was only a few hundred meters away.
"Let's walk further in and see, it shouldn't be far."
Bock said: "Master, I don't have to stop you. We can resist the ghost fog on the outside. If we go inside, no one can resist unless we are a demon."
Now that we are here, Chen Ming can't give up, so he says: "I can feel that we are very close. Let's walk a little further!"
"Master, look ahead, it's like a dark night, not even the fluorescent moss is gone!"
When Chen Ming saw that none of the four people wanted to go in, he thought, are they all scared? It seems that they need some encouragement, otherwise it will not be in vain!
"As long as the four of you can be found this time, I will relieve you of your slave status and restore your freedom after we return."
"We will also reward you with ghost beads ranging from one thousand to ten thousand according to your achievements during this trip!"
Hearing Chen Ming say this, the four people's eyes lit up.
Bock gritted his teeth and took out a small bottle from his pocket and poured out five soybean-sized balls.
"Master! This is a detoxifying pill that can resist the ghost mist. But the effect is only for an hour."
"When the time comes, no matter whether it is successful or not, you must come out immediately. Otherwise, you will never come out."
Chen Ming nodded and said: "Let's do it!"
After saying that, he took out one and put it in his mouth. The others followed suit and took one as well. They lit up the fluorescent balls and walked towards the depths of the forest.
A layer of mist quietly rose in the dark forest, but no one noticed it at all.
After walking for a while, Chen Ming, who was constantly feeling Jia Jia's position, was suddenly startled.
Not only was his feeling getting stronger and stronger, but he was also getting closer and closer, as if Jiajia was running towards him very fast.
Chen Ming couldn't help but be overjoyed, but then she became confused about how she knew she was here.
That's when I felt Jiajia approaching, but when I looked around I found nothing, only endless darkness.
"Jiajia! Are you here?"
Chen Ming shouted, and everyone was startled by this shout, and they couldn't help but stop and look at Chen Ming.
Suddenly Lu Ling jumped up and rushed towards Chen Ming, hugged Chen Ming, and rolled out sideways.
At the moment when Chen Ming was pushed to the ground by Lu Ling, with the light of the light ball, he saw a huge octagonal hammer head like a house smash down.
There was a loud "Boom--", and the ground was shaking, and Lu Ling and Chen Ming, who were hugging each other and rolling out, were directly knocked away.
Lu Ling was as agile as a civet cat. She turned over in the air, hugged Chen Ming, and gave him away.
Chen Ming staggered a few steps and leaned on a tree trunk. As soon as he stood firm, Lu Ling stood lightly in front of Chen Ming.
She put her hand on her waist and threw something into the air. A white light flashed, like a hundred-watt light bulb lighting up in the air.
The luminous object hung in the air and swayed, but never fell. In an instant, it illuminated the surrounding area as bright as day.
With the help of the light emitted by the dazzling light ball, Chen Ming saw the insect man Shoudao on the ground waving a fine iron rod to fight with a woman holding an extra-large hammer.
That woman was none other than Jiajia that he was looking for. Chen Ming was overjoyed and shouted loudly.
"Jiajia, stop fighting, Jiajia, stop it, it's me."
Hearing the cry, Jiajia turned her head to look at Chen Ming. When she saw Chen Ming, she had a surprised expression on her face.
