Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 1039: Screaming Forest

After lunch, the troops set off. Alan got on his horse and felt something in his heart. He looked up at the upper floor of the hotel and smiled and waved at the figure standing by the window. Then, he made a gesture and the team set off.

Lucy, who was standing by the window, sighed softly. She knew that Alan was trying to protect her. But in the end, Ellen was still worried that her strength was not enough to deal with the situation in the Screaming Forest. After all, she was still at her original level, and Regis and Adele were already far ahead of her. Lucy looked at herself in the mirror and shook her head with a bitter smile. When did she become Alan's burden?

The secret condensation technique that Mo Cha had inherited from his father, Origin Energy, had only condensed a third of Orfasis into a liquid. There was still a long way to go before he could condense all of the Origin Energy and release the Breaking Force Lock to soar into the sky. If not for the fact that Allen's journey north was not over, Lucy would have unlocked the break lock and sent Origin Energy to level 20. At the very least, if she became an Awakened, she wouldn't be a burden to Alan.

She tried her best to restrain her impulse to unlock the lock. The journey was not over yet, so who could tell if there would be any more dangerous enemies on the journey? Lucy knew very well that this was not the right time to unlock it. She needed patience. josei

"It's just that this feeling is very uncomfortable." She murmured.

Guna walked in with a knock on the door and brought a drink. "It's made from sour plums. It'll refresh the appetite."

Lucy smiled and said, "You came at the right time. I need this kind of thing." She drank it all in one gulp.

The troop set out from the hotel and was led by a soldier from the Bear Armor Army. They circled around the edge of the city and gradually a cemetery appeared in Allen's line of sight. It was Mosaiore's great cemetery, and the gravestones on the slope extended upwards one after another. Looking around, there were tens of thousands of stone steles in the cemetery. The troop passed by the cemetery along the highway. The black iron fence was covered in dark green vines, and the gate was locked tightly. Behind the door, a few gravekeeper silently watched the group pass by without any expression, as if they were walking corpses without the slightest trace of vitality.

This gloomy cemetery occupied an extremely large area, and the team took quite a bit of time to completely bypass the cemetery.

Behind the cemetery was the west gate of Mosaiore. The guards at the gate had already received the news, so they were not surprised by the arrival of this troop in the slightest. The troops stopped in front of the door and the defenders opened the city gates. The soldier leading the troops said to Alan, "My lord, I can only bring you here." After leaving the city gate, head west. It won't be long before you can see the edge of the Howling Forest. Lake Ze, where the Queen of Fear is located, is located deep in the forest. I'm afraid you won't be able to see it until noon the next day. Please be careful, the danger of the Screaming Forest comes not only from the Queen of Fear, but also from other creatures under her control. "

Alan nodded. At this moment, the city gates were all open. He raised his hand and gripped the horse's abdomen tightly. The warhorse hissed and rushed out. Behind him, Laura and five Green Dragon Knight lined up, and more soldiers followed. The troop quickly left the city gate and sped on a monotonous plain. As the soldier had said, Alan soon saw a forest line.

That's the edge of the Howling Forest.

The forest lines of the Screaming Forest grew from narrow to wide, gradually spreading to the west. The forest was located in the middle of the two mountain ranges. The ancient trees in the forest were towering and had numerous branches. The leaves of these ancient trees were dark and gloomy. From afar, the Sharp Howl Forest revealed an oppressive atmosphere.

The troop passed through the plains and entered the forest. It was as if they had entered another world. Allen looked around and saw that the sunlight in the forest was dim, and it fell to the ground through the gaps in the leaves, forming only a large patch of tiny specks of light. There were no roads in the forest. Fortunately, the ground was fairly flat. Even if the troops were to disperse slightly, they could still advance quickly. After only half an hour, the terrain became more and more complicated. Ripples of natural rock and ubiquitous shrubs make it hard for horses to pass. Moreover, the distance between the trees was also shrinking, which limited the space for traveling through the forest.

Alan had to order his troops to stop and find a relatively open place to place their horses, leaving behind two warriors to look after their horses, while the others followed him into the forest on foot.

Along the way, one would occasionally see fallen wooden houses buried by shrubs or connected to an old tree. Alan even picked up a Bear Armored Army flag. It seemed that the Bear Armored Army had built some sentry posts in the forest, but it didn't seem to have succeeded. He didn't know what caused this.

After walking a kilometer or so deeper, there would be no trace of human activity. The forest became increasingly strange and quiet. Alan could hardly even see birds or beasts. The entire forest seemed to be filled with hostility towards living things. In the holes of the withered trees, the shadows of the rocks covered with green moss filled the dense bushes with a chilling aura.

In the evening, Allen found a low slope to serve as a temporary camp. It was rare for this place to not be occupied by ancient trees. Several half-man tall bushes were quickly uprooted by the knives of the warriors. Allen ordered the camp to rest. Soon, several large fires were set up and a bonfire lit. Allen sat down to rest after the night watchmen were assigned. Laura walked over and took out the bacon wrapped in banana leaves from her backpack, as well as a leather bag containing clear water. These were the dinner for the team tonight.

Alan drank a few mouthfuls of water from his leather bag and handed it to Laura. As he ate the bacon, a shrill howl came from the depths of the forest. It was probably the name of the Sharp Howl Forest.

Laura's race lived in forests and mountains for many years. Even though the Screaming Forest was far away from another planet, it was no different from the environment. Therefore, in the forest, Laura felt like a fish in water. Entering her familiar surroundings, Laura's senses were naturally sharper than others. After drinking a few mouthfuls of water, she lowered her voice and said, "Be careful at night. In the afternoon, I found traces of biological activity." It means that there is not no living thing in the forest, but we don't even see a ghost. I think those creatures deliberately avoided us. Perhaps the night is the best time for them to come out. "

Alan nodded and Laura said, "You rest first. Leave it to me in the middle of the night."

Currently, there were only Alan and Laura in the team, who were over Level 20. Naturally, the two of them had to take turns to guard the night. In such a dangerous place, Alan was really worried about throwing the safety of the camp to the warriors or Nelly and the rest of the Green Dragon Knight. He had no objection to Laura's suggestion, and after three or two bites of bacon, he had to find a place to rest. Laura smiled and pulled him to rest on her thigh. "Just rest here." She said.

Alan's face was pressed against Laura's smooth silk-like thigh skin, breathing in the faint fragrance of vegetation on her body. He bitterly smiled in his heart, how could he rest like this?
