One night, they were traveling all night. Just before dawn, it started to rain again, and it didn't stop until the evening of the third day.

The chilly rain soaked into every inch of the clothes and fabrics of the two people. The chill penetrated their skin and penetrated into their bones and blood.

A feeling of discomfort and weakness.

This time the cold seemed to be particularly fierce. The temperature dropped sharply at night, and the surrounding environment seemed unable to resist the cold chill. The small bushes on the ground had withered and died, and the dark green on the big trees that I saw when I entered the forest.

At this time, large areas of leaves have turned gray-yellow, and the vines hanging on the trees have also become wilted, as if they are waiting for the countdown to death. No living thing survives here, not even the most capable of surviving.

Insect-like creatures cannot escape the fate of death in this humid, cold, cold and dead environment.

After the fourth day, in the early morning of the fifth day, the only thing that accompanied them was the cold rain and thick fog. There was no shadow of the sun and moon in the sky. Ever since they entered the forest, in this lost place that seemed to be forgotten by the gods.

There was no sign of other creatures, the sky was always covered with thick dark clouds, and there was not an inch of hard land they walked through in the past five days, but all was dark, slippery clay.

On the sixth day, the two people stopped with a hint of despair in their hearts. Although no monsters had been tracking them in the past few days, the meeting gift given to them by the forest was enough to eliminate the remains of any adventurer who broke in, even if they were

Oia, who was extremely proud and confident, had her self-confidence greatly shaken at this time.

As time went by, the words between the two became less and less, and the atmosphere even became silent.

As night fell and the rain finally stopped, the two lit a bonfire under a large tree with dense leaves. They sat by the bonfire and stared at the crackling flames.

"How many days have we been in the forest?" Ia said dryly.

"It's been six days." Wei Yi smiled hard and said, "But there is still good news. At least we can see that the mountains are not far away from us."

"But we don't seem to have much dry food." Ia smiled bitterly.

Before entering the dark forest, Wei Yi and Oia also imagined that they could find wild vegetables and edible prey, such as rabbits and other small animals in the dark forest.

But now it was the sixth day. Not only did they find no prey in the forest, but they didn't even find any wild fruits or vegetables. They relied on carrying dry food by themselves to support their journey in the forest.

The dry food that Wei Yi carried before could basically only last one person's journey, but after adding Oia, although he collected a lot of food before entering the forest, the remaining food can only last for about a day, so the current situation

It's very detrimental to both of them.

Once the food and drinking water were exhausted, the two of them were sentenced to death in this dark and barren forest.

Oia used a small whetstone to sharpen the dagger and muttered: "What will we do tomorrow? Which way are we going to go?"

The cold wind blew at night, and Wei Yi, who was sitting by the fire, couldn't help but tighten his clothes: "I hope the weather will be better tomorrow. I can tell the direction from several plants." He hesitated and continued: "We

It is a straight line into the dark forest. The mountains are in the deepest part of the dark forest. That is to say, if we keep walking in a straight line, we can definitely reach the foot of the mountains. However, the mountains we discovered before are still at least two days away from us. The premise is that these two

The weather is suitable today.”

Ia also slumped his shoulders, grabbed a blanket and wrapped it around him, saying, "Get some rest. We will find a way to carefully observe the situation tomorrow before making a decision."

"Well, have a nice dream!"

...

In the early morning of the seventh day, it seemed that God was blessing the two of them. The dark clouds in the sky that had not cleared up for a long time had dissipated a lot, and the sunshine that had not appeared for a long time also shone in this dark forest, bringing a ray of light, and this sunshine also

It dispelled the haze and worries in the two people's hearts.

Taking advantage of the clear weather, the agile Oia climbed up a giant tree to explore the location. The tree was about fifteen feet tall and could be said to be the tallest tree in the forest. Standing on the top of the tree, you could overlook the entire forest.

A forest. After a while, Oia climbed down from the tree crown.

"We should be almost to the depths of the dark forest now." Oia's chest was heaving a little, and he continued: "Go straight to the north of us. We can reach a mountain range in about a day's journey. The road we are taking is

Yes."

The news brought by Oia was the best news they had heard in seven days.

Taking advantage of the improvement of the weather, they accelerated their journey. At noon, they climbed over a small hillside. At the top of the hillside, the mountains stretching across the forest finally came into view.

When they came down the mountain, the two of them also saw some small animals and birds, and the long-lost chirping of birds in the forest reached their ears.

In front of a cliff, a white waterfall flows down from the top of the cliff, roaring into the deep pool at the bottom of the cliff. When they saw this turquoise lake, the faces of Wei Yi and Ia

Shang also showed a smile.

Weiyi came to the lake and washed his face with water. The cold lake water made him shiver, and the fatigue from the journey seemed to be reduced a lot by the coldness of the lake water.

"Look over there." Oia pointed to the other side of the lake and said cautiously.

Weiyi looked in the direction pointed by Ia, and saw four giant crocodiles nearly five meters long lying on the sand, basking in the sun with their large mouths full of sharp teeth.

"Just be careful and don't provoke them. Vey said."

After resting for a while, Wei Yi found a place to make a bonfire, while Oia went out to hunt. After a while, he came back with two rabbit-like animals. As an elf, Oia's innate talent as a hunter is now

It was exposed at a glance. Weiyi, who was sitting by the lake, was not idle either. He quickly made a simple fishing rod and caught five or six fish as long as a small arm in a short time.

Time passed quickly, and the moon was already high in the sky. The two of them sat by the fire, devouring what could be said to be the most decent hot meal in several days.

It seems that because of the smell of grilled fish and barbecue, a black bee as big as a thumb flew to the basin containing the fish, as if it wanted a piece of the pie.

Ia on the side quickly drew out the short knife from his waist and stabbed the black bee like lightning.

Although the black bee flew fast, it was still stabbed. It suddenly screamed and flew away quickly.

"Just now...did that black bee scream?" Wei Yi said in surprise.

"It seems so. This is the first time I heard bees making sounds." Ia put back the dagger and said with a puzzled look on his face.

The two continued to chat and discuss the meaning of the black bee's cry just now, but after a few minutes, they finally understood the meaning.

On the other side of the lake, a dark shadow came across the lake, and a buzzing sound even traveled along the surface of the lake and reached the ears of the two people by the lake.

"Damn it! Its cry means it's calling for help!" Wei Yi's expression changed drastically.

A trace of regret appeared on Ia's pale face. It seemed that he had caused this big trouble just now by attacking the black bee.

Without further delay, the two of them picked up the weapons on the ground and ran towards the dense forest, ignoring the blankets and remaining food.

Wei Yi originally wanted to hide in the lake, but the swarms of bees that were blocking the sky were all over the lake. Even if they were not stung to death, the crocodiles in the lake would kill them all.

The two ran as fast as possible toward the mountains, hoping that the lush branches and leaves would block the flight speed of the swarm and prevent them from finding them.
