Leo led the two people behind him across an arch bridge formed by huge tree roots. Because Leo walked in front, he cleaned off the moss attached to the surface of the tree roots, so that the two people behind him no longer felt wet when they stepped on it. slip.

Before choosing to walk on the tree root arch bridge, Leo reminded them to be careful not to fall, because there was a small river about four meters wide below.

Although the effect of anthelmintics is very significant, it cannot be used in water. It is also of no use to the poisonous insects that live in the water. If it falls into the water, the result will be like the corpse not far away, which will be eaten by poisonous insects. Only the bones are left.

After walking through the tree root arch bridge without any danger, Leo found a relatively open place and stopped.

The reason why they stopped was not because there was no road ahead, but because the two people behind them had reached the time when they needed to rest. From their clearly audible breathing, it could be inferred that their physical strength was now close to the limit. If you continue walking, it will cause harm to your body.

"Rest in place for ten minutes." Leo suggested after checking that there was no danger around him.

After hearing Leo's suggestion, Nelson and Jason didn't say anything. They each found a slightly protruding tree root to sit down, panting heavily and wiping the sweat that kept rolling down their foreheads.

Leo calmly reminded the two of them: "You'd better drink some water now, don't drink too much, take small sips."

Nelson and Jason silently took out the water bottles from their waists, unscrewed the lid, and resisted the urge to drink it all in one sip. After taking about five sips, they all stopped in unison. Close the lid with difficulty.

"Leo, why is there nothing wrong with you? You can't even see sweat? Are you a monster?" Jason, who was in better shape, gradually recovered from his severe panting after drinking water, and then used a lantern to In the dim light, seeing Leo's relaxed look, he said with both envy and jealousy.

"As long as you know how to adjust the way you use your physical strength, you can do the same as me." Leo smiled and said.

Leo was in a very happy mood at this moment, because he looked at his personal data interface just now and found that even though he had been walking and using his psychic skills from time to time, his psychic energy had not decreased at all, and he still Keep it at sixty.

By checking the recorded data of the accessory brain system, he learned that the entire black forest was contained in an unknown high-energy force field. This high-energy force field could not be absorbed directly, and through perfect control, certain parts of the body were strengthened or Evolution cannot help him enhance his willpower and mental strength, but this high-energy force field can slowly replenish the spiritual energy he consumes. As long as he controls it properly, his spiritual energy can always be at full value.

Another point is that the high-energy force field in the Black Forest is not constant. In fact, by recording subtle changes in the data, Leo found that the deeper into the depths of the Black Forest, the stronger the high-energy force field becomes. If you follow this If the data growth rate is extrapolated, the center of the Great Black Forest, which is said to be unreachable by humans, may have a high-energy force field that can allow him to absorb evolution and obtain stronger psychic skills.

The Black Forest is actually the collective name for the Black Forest area. In fact, the Black Forest is divided into five parts, the Lower Black Forest, the Great Black Forest, the Upper Black Forest, the Black Forest Swamp and the Venovi Mountains. The Great Black Forest is the main body of the Black Forest.

It is also the root cause. All other parts are the products of the extension of the Black Forest. Among them, the Lower Black Forest is the smallest, while the Upper Black Forest, Black Forest Swamp and the Venovi Mountains are all outside the borders of the French Empire.

Leo also learned about the Black Forest from a picture of the Black Forest painted on the wall of the hotel restaurant. Although he knew from Nelson that the Black Forest was huge, he did not expect that it would be so big that it would occupy half of the Velen continent.

To an extent, half of the Fran Empire, the largest area on the Velen continent, is covered with black forests, while the other half is squeezed into a U-shape by the black forests.

"Isn't it said that it is the foggy moon in the Black Forest? Why is there no fog at all after we have walked for so long?" Just when Leo was thinking about things related to his own data and the situation in the Black Forest, Jason suddenly became full of doubts.

I asked Nelson a question that he also wanted to ask.

After entering the Black Forest, Leo saw a lot of water mist formed by water vapor along the way, but these mist were very shallow and light, not considered a thick fog at all, let alone making people get lost in the fog.

"I asked the teacher about the foggy moon." Nielsen wiped the sweat from his forehead, wrung out the towel, and explained: "After entering the foggy moon, the thick fog will not immediately fill the forest, they will appear irregularly.

In some places of the forest, it stays for a few days or even ten days, and then disappears and appears again in another place. It will not be until about thirty to forty days after entering the foggy moon that all the dense fog will be fixed in the forest until it is full.

The whole forest."

Leo asked: "So where are we now?"

"It's been twenty-three days since the first thick fog," Nelson said.

Jason chuckled and said, "It seems we are pretty lucky."

Nelson rolled his eyes at Jason and said: "It should be said that our luck is very bad, because this period of time happens to be the most frequent and unruly time for thick fog. Maybe we are sitting here now, and the surroundings will be the next moment.

It was shrouded in thick fog.”

"No way!" Jason shrank his neck and looked around cautiously.

Leo opened his mouth and was about to ask more about the foggy moon in the Black Forest, but was interrupted by a very subtle sound from a distance, and he couldn't help but turn his head and look towards the place where the sound came from.

.

"Leo, what's wrong?" Leo moved very loudly. Nielsen could easily see something unusual about Leo and asked immediately.

"There were gunshots." Leo said solemnly.

"There was a gunshot? Why didn't I hear it?" Jason looked at Leo in confusion, and then asked Nelson: "Doctor, did you hear it?"

"No." Nelson also shook his head.

At this time, Nelson suddenly saw Leo's eyes flashing a magical white light in the dark night. Just when he was about to take a closer look, the white light disappeared again, which made him wonder if he had an illusion, especially when

After Leo heard the gunfire that they didn't hear.

Although Nelson doesn't have much experience in the jungle, he has read a lot of books and knows that some people are prone to hallucinations such as visual and auditory hallucinations in the jungle. He feels that this may be the case for him.

Just when Nelson was about to talk about the hallucination phenomenon he had inferred and see if he should discuss a countermeasure, Leo looked at him and Jason with an inexplicable contemptuous smile and said, "You two stay here and don't leave."

Move, I'll take care of some tails later."

After saying that, without waiting for the two of them to answer, Leo took the anthelmintic medicine around his neck and the spherical smoker hanging around his waist, handed them to Nelson, and then quickly walked back across the tree root arch bridge.

He jumped back and forth between several large tree roots on the opposite side, grabbed a hanging vine, and swung into the dark forest behind, leaving the two people sitting there with blank faces, looking at each other, speechless for a moment.

Leo walked alone in the black forest as if he were in his own back garden. He quickly sprinted through the forest through various available conditions. Every step he took was extremely calculated and constructed through the spiritual network.

The topographic map allows him to come and go as freely as the master of the black forest.

Just when he heard the faint sound of gunfire, Leo activated his spiritual vision and opened the spiritual network. Through his spiritual vision, he saw the situation in the forest behind him. Through the spiritual network, he constructed a three-dimensional diagram and creatures in the accessory brain system.

Detection map.

Through observation and detection, Leo discovered that there were more than thirty hunters following him, and the two panier battle axes hung on the waists of these hunters clearly revealed their identities.

What surprised him was that these thirty people were less than a hundred meters away from where they were resting now, with only a row of dense trees in between. It was necessary to go around this tree to reach the tree root arch bridge.

The gunshot just now was caused by the gunpowder in one of the hunters' guns accidentally going off. It seems that the hunter was not using special bullets. According to common sense, a gunshot should be very loud in such an open field, even if

The obstruction by trees shouldn't have been so slight, so he almost thought he was hallucinating.

This situation made Leo couldn't help but suspect that the high-energy force field shrouded in the black forest might be able to reduce and block the spread of sound.

This reminded him of a person trapped in a thick fog who could neither see the direction nor send his cry for help. Even if someone passed by a hundred meters away, his cry for help could not be heard.

They can only wait to die alone in the fog, or be eaten by forest beasts that come with the fog.

Now that Leo had discovered these malicious tails, he naturally would not let them continue to follow, so he asked Nelson and Jason to wait where they were while he went over to deal with these people.

Soon Leo came to the shadow of a huge tree not far from these people. He locked each of them and projected them into his eyeballs, then released his spiritual vision and mental net, and transformed into a regular battle mode.

Leo observed a little and found that the thirty-odd people in front of him seemed to be not united. The twenty-odd people who made up the majority seemed to be complaining that they should not enter the Black Forest, while the remaining eight people were very calm.

The two squatted on the ground with lanterns, carefully searching for the traces of Leo and the others that they had walked before, and did not pay attention to the complaints of those people. It seemed that these eight people were the main force chasing Leo.

In addition, he also found that the weapons on the twenty-odd people were all hunting equipment such as bows and crossbows. Even if there were muskets, they were of a very crude kind.

On the contrary, three of the eight people were carrying three well-made standard rifles, and they also had a special bullet bag on their belts, which contained five exquisitely made bullets, including the five bullets in the gun case.

, these eight people should have thirty special bullets in their hands.

After some observation, Leo quickly found his target. This man happened to be at the end of the team, tightening a loose bow string. He looked like an experienced hunter.

However, Leo could tell from his rapid breathing and constant movements of adjusting the bow string that he was very nervous now. From his behavior of deliberately falling behind the team, it was not difficult to see that if any abnormal situation occurred, he would probably be the first to do so.

Just turn around and run away.

After finding the first target, Leo used the darkness of the forest to silently reach the back of the team through the gaps between huge tree roots.

Although his position was less than ten centimeters away from a hunter when he was closest, and that person could see him as long as he turned his head, but with the sound-absorbing mulch on the ground and the surrounding high-energy force field that restricted sound, he

His movements were silent, like a ghost.

I saw that Leo had already stood behind the target, and the hunter was still focusing on the conversation in front of his companions discussing whether they should go back. He quickly reached out with one hand and covered the target's mouth.

The other hand held a dagger and stabbed directly into his heart from his back, killing him on the spot.

After taking out a target, Leo did not pull out the dagger, but carefully dragged the body into the darkness, with the wound facing the ground, and pulled out the dagger with the blade tilted, letting the blood spurt fall directly to the ground without being splashed.

on him.

After solving one target, Leo took off the Panier Tomahawk from the corpse and moved towards the next target.

The dark environment of the Black Forest gave Leo excellent protection. In the past, the combat skills that mainly focused on infiltration and beheading were brought to the extreme in such an environment. These people did not notice that their companions were decreasing one by one. Until they found the way.

The two people found the traces that Leo and the others had walked before, and after deducing their route, they stood up and prepared to continue chasing, only to find that out of the dozens of people, only a dozen people were left.

"What's going on? Where are the people?" The strongest hunter among the eight people stood up and asked the confused people loudly. It was obvious that he thought those people were taking advantage of him when he was not paying attention.

After leaving, I saw him yelling: "You guys took my money and now want to regret it? Do you know how our Blood Ax Gang treats those who take money and then regret it? We will let him swallow the money one by one.

Go down until his belly bursts."

"Boss Pierre, please don't accuse us wrongly. Since we have accepted your money, we will definitely follow you. Otherwise, we would not follow you to the Black Forest in the foggy moon." One of the people who asked the question hurriedly

He stood up to argue and said: "We don't know where those people have gone? I swear to God, they were still here just now."

Suddenly someone said: "Could it be that monsters in the thick fog came out to kill them..."

Before the man finished speaking, I don't know if it was a coincidence or not, but a gust of cool wind appeared out of thin air in this sultry environment, sweeping over everyone, making everyone shiver, and the surroundings fell into silence for an instant.

among.

Soon the man named Pierre regained his composure and shouted loudly at the man who had spoken before: "You idiot, what are you talking about? The fog didn't appear, how could there be..."

Before Pierre could finish these words, a black shadow flew out from the darkness with a buzzing sound, and instantly hit Pierre's open chest, piercing in hard, and even carried Pierre's body with his remaining strength.
Chapter completed!
