The entire forest was enveloped by the sudden hurricane. Fortunately, thanks to the protection of the huge canopy of the ancient trees, the impact inside the forest was not as serious as imagined. Instead, the dull and decaying atmosphere that had accumulated all year round completely dissipated.
After leading Cassia Hei among the ancient trees, about an hour later, Cassia finally found a temporary shelter. It was an ancient tree that was struck by lightning, cut off in the middle, and the surrounding ancient trees followed it.
It quickly expanded its branches and leaves, eventually causing it to die.
The huge tree stump left behind was dug out by creatures to create a huge hole, which could be used as a resting place. Because Cassia felt that heavy rain would come soon, this kind of weather had cut off his idea of on the road again.
.
After dragging the iron box into the hollow, Cassia asked Cassie to find food by himself, and then he took the time to collect enough dry wood to pile it up around him. He did not bring high-energy fuel with him on this trip.
After sweeping a clean area at the entrance of the tree hole, Cassia quickly lit a fire. With her back to the wind, the dance of the flames was not violent, which added a little bit of subtle light to the interior of the forest, which was always like evening. Find it.
A strong dry tree trunk, Cassia sat beside the fire, her heart was affected by the light of the fire, and she became comfortable and warm.
The hurricane in the sky has no tendency to abate at all. This is also true. It has not yet reached its peak and is still in the period of gathering strength.
"It should barely be regarded as an extreme weather, but it is not appropriate to call it an extreme climate." Cassia took out the small notebook and pen on his body and wrote something while talking to himself. He was recording what he had just seen
At the scene he heard, the firelight cast the shadow of the pen on the small book. The handwriting was not beautiful, it could only be said to be neat. But when looking at the imperial characters arranged and combined into one, Cassia then raised his head and turned his gaze.
Putting it on the fire in front of me, I felt that the sound of wind and leaves rubbing around me suddenly became quieter.
Even if it was only for a moment, Cassia seemed to have experienced the mood of Perkins a thousand years ago. With a sigh, Cassia took the time to record the scene in words when she heard the crashing sound in the air.
"There may be things in the sky covered by clouds and mist that cannot be touched by human eyes. From history to the present, the perennial mist has covered very important things, and that will be the source of the sound." I feel like I am.
A recorder and adventurer, even if he guessed in his heart that the ultimate cause of this phenomenon has long been investigated, it is lying in the archives of major forces.
What could it be? Cassia read what he had written, and finally tore it off and threw it into the fire. At that time, Perkins did not give a specific answer in the book. Maybe he knew
The true appearance of all the records in the book, but as a publication, a little mystery seems to be more attractive.
I don’t know if this is a bad taste, at least Cassia thinks it is. Being curious can often torture herself in all aspects. During this period, I looked at the mechanical watch every ten minutes. Cassia was almost a month away from going out.
Hours. Affected by the hurricane, daily fast hunting has also been delayed to a certain extent.
Cassia stood up and walked to the tree hole. The swirling cold wind swept the dead leaves into the air and carried them far away. The air became moist at a visible speed. In less than a minute, there were more blows between the leaves.
"Crackling" sound.
The heavy rain has arrived, and soon large, cold water droplets gathered and fell from the tree crowns. The humid environment suddenly gave rise to the uncomfortable feeling of corpses being soaked until they turned white. The southern forest is originally an ancient forest, and here
All ancient trees and plants can be called living fossils, and it is not too much to think of them as corpses.
The breath he exhaled was white. Cassia looked at the forest covered by tree trunks. When she thought that Cassia would be back soon, her body suddenly tensed up. At this time, her eyes naturally looked sideways as her head turned.
Ahead. There was a faint sound there, as if something was moving forward in this stormy weather.
Standing still and waiting for more than half a minute, a beast with hair that became smoother and brighter in the falling rain came into his sight. It looked like a common green wolf in the southern forest, but its coat color had a rare dark color.
It is red and sticks to the skin one by one, like long needle-like scales. When rain falls on it, it will naturally slide off.
Its two eyes were dark green, and its body was nearly two meters tall. Cassia judged that it was not a young giant wolf, but an adult, but its species limited its size. A little later, he discovered that Cassia was looking at him.
, the wolf immediately stopped and stared at Cassia. At the same time, the gushing heat rushed forward a meter or two before gradually spreading out, and two rows of bright and sharp teeth were also exposed.
"Nalota!" A human voice came from further away, which seemed to be the name of the wolf. Then a group of four people walked out from behind the ancient tree, two men, one in middle age and the other very young.
The remaining two were women, one was about the same age as a young man, and the other was a girl, about twelve or thirteen years old. The clothes were very different from those in the empire, at least the pattern decoration of the clothes had not been seen by Cassia. At this time, Kasia
Xia just realized that the voice just now was the language of the Flame Alliance, but his brain switched too quickly and he did not notice the difference in time. The four of them stood next to the red wolf, feeling tired after a long journey.
Set your sights on Cassia.
"Human!" With doubts, the four of them did not move. Only one of them stretched out his hand and patted the red wolf's body, but the red wolf still showed his sharp teeth. Cassia looked away at this time and looked at the four
Behind the old tree next to the person, there were undisguised footsteps coming from there.
The red wolf roared almost at the same time, and immediately turned around to look in the same direction. The needle-like hairs on its back also stood up in an attacking posture. The roar had no deterrent effect, and the footsteps became louder from far to near.
The four people immediately took action and all left the red wolf. Without any doubts, they quickly came to a position not far from Cassia to guard.
"Discatli!" the middle-aged man called out at this time, and the young woman responded. She turned around and pulled the girl to stand behind the two men. With the sound of dead branches breaking, both men pulled out their weapons.
The design of the pistol is quite different from that of the Empire, but it is very similar to the revolver Cassia is accustomed to using.
Cassia looked at the four people and the red wolf, and didn't know what to do for a moment. They should be reminded that Cassia felt that he should be happy to meet humans in the forest, although this would not have any impact on his journey.
Helps and has no effect.
"Hey, young man!" The middle-aged man tilted his head a little and called Cassia.
Cassia turned her head and was about to respond, but Cassia was already walking out of the tree trunks with a dead horned sheep in one hand and his favorite giant sword in the other.
"Dragon!" The middle-aged man said with shock and anger, and stepped back a little. He and another young man completely blocked Discatli and the little girl behind them.
Seeing the scene in front of the dead tree stump, Cassie Hei also stopped. When he left, there seemed to be something more here. He looked at the red wolf on the side that was ready to attack at any time, and immediately moved his body to the side.
, and the giant sword in its hand was also ready to be swung out at any time, and then it looked at Cassia. (To be continued)
