Encountering this unexplainable and bizarre situation, trapped in such a forest, made the pirates more and more anxious and emotionally unstable.
After all, these people are fierce, cruel and rude guys.
"Looks like we're going to have to go together."
Chen Daolin stood in front of the one-eyed.
"Do we have a choice" One-eyed seemed a little nervous, he looked at Chen Daolin, his eyes were full of vigilance: "Your Excellency Mage" "I know you don't trust me."
Chen Daolin simply sneered first: "But how can I trust you, we are not friends, and we were enemies before."
But in this kind of place, we don't have any other choice. ” "Your Excellency Mage, what is there on this island" One-Eye suddenly asked coldly, his one-eyed eyes were shining with a cold light, staring at Chen Daolin tightly.
Obviously, One-Eye made up his mind to raise this question, and when he encountered this kind of inexplicable thing, One-Eye would never let himself be confused, and after being the boss for a lifetime, he was used to controlling the situation clearly.
Chen Daolin deliberately sneered and looked at each other with one eye.
One-eyed was a little under-confident by Chen Daolin's sneer, but he still stubbornly said, "Your Excellency, I think I have the right to know the truth, and if I and my twenty men are going to follow you, then at least we have to know the truth."
Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to convince myself to put our fortune and surname on a matter that I am confused about. ” One-Eye's tone was hard, and his meaning was clear: either tell me or don't want me to be obedient.
"All I can tell you is that this has something to do with magic."
Chen Daolin said coldly: "I came here to find a place that has something to do with magicians, as for what it is, I don't need to tell you, and you don't need to know." ” You mortals have nothing to do with magicians, and you mortals are not qualified to know.
"Is it a treasure?"
his one-eyed gaze flickered, and he simply said it bluntly.
"Ha" Chen Daolin deliberately laughed a few times, looked at One-Eyed, and said in a disdainful tone: "Captain One-Eyed, do you really know about magicians, do you think I will be short of money, a magician, will because of a little money, I will travel thousands of miles to adventure overseas Money This kind of thing, I can have as much as I want, so don't dream of any treasures, what I came here to look for is only related to magic, and it doesn't make any sense to tell you." ” With that, he simply turned and walked away, patted Barossa and the other girls, and motioned for them to get ready to hit the road, ignoring the pirate leader standing behind him.
It wasn't until Chen Daolin had taken a few steps that he turned around and sneered: "Captain One-Eyed, if I had a choice, I wouldn't want to take you with me at all, but now I don't have a choice, and neither do you."
If you don't believe me, you might as well go by yourself and see if you can take your people out of the woods. ” "Wait" One-Eye finally compromised, he took a deep breath, glanced at the many subordinates sitting on the ground around him, smiled bitterly, and then shouted: "It's all up, you lazy pigs are hurrying, don't wait" Mixed with the pirate team, Chen Daolin simply handed over the work of opening the way to One-Eye's men.
And One-eyed, with a few henchmen, followed Chen Daolin's side closely.
It was not easy to travel in this wood, and after walking down for two or three hours, Chen Daolin was already tired with a sore back and weak legs, and his whole body was drenched in sweat.
The physical fitness of the pirates was much stronger than that of the magicians, but because they took turns to send people to open the way in front, and the people in charge of opening the way had to take swords and axes all the way, everyone was also tired.
When it was completely dark, the procession stopped, everyone drank and ate, and took the dry food they had brought to satisfy their hunger.
After an hour's rest, One-Eye suggested that the party simply camp here for the night.
This suggestion was directly rejected by Chen Daolin.
"Overnight."
Chen Daolin said coldly.
"Why," One-Eye was surprised: "My men are very tired, they need to rest here for the night, get a good night's sleep, and wait until dawn to continue on the road, besides, it may be dangerous to travel in the woods at night." ” "I said keep going, and I'll keep going."
Chen Daolin didn't pay attention to the one-eyed reason at all: "This forest is weird, you can only be safe when you go out as soon as possible, are you willing to spend the night in this forest that will confuse people?"
It's a question that one-eye can't answer.
He felt that what Chen Daolin said also made some sense.
But Chen Daolin's true thoughts, one-eyed naturally couldn't figure it out.
If you stop to rest overnight, then the people on both sides are together, and who will be in charge of the night watch and who will sleep Chen Daolin didn't have to worry about letting these pirates stay on duty all night and then sleep by themselves, if these pirates would definitely tie themselves up with ropes in the middle of the night There was such a deep hatred between the two sides, and the pirates only gave in because they thought they were invincible.
Since he stopped to rest, Chen Daolin would never dare to sleep at ease here, so there was no need to stop Chen Daolin's idea was very simple: if he camped, he and the three girls would not dare to sleep, but the pirates could sleep to recover their strength, because they were so large that they could take turns to rest separately.
But on his side, there are men and three women, and if they want to take turns to rest, they can't distinguish people.
Just continue to hurry, you have to be tired, and everyone is tired together Since neither he nor the three girls had a chance to sleep, it was difficult to let these pirates have no chance to rest Rushing overnight made the pirates cry bitterly, and many pirates couldn't help but curse, but there was a one-eyed bullet pressure, and no one dared to really make trouble.
After walking in the forest for most of the night, Chen Daolin would ask people to climb to the top of the tree to look ahead and identify the direction every time he walked a part of the road.
The surrounding fog did not dissipate, as if there was such a strange forest and the mountain peak in the distance between heaven and earth.
When they sent someone up the tree for the third time to observe the peak, everyone finally realized that something was wrong.
"We've been walking for an afternoon and half a night" Duyan looked very uneasy, and he said to Chen Daolin: "Your Excellency, after walking for such a long time, according to the speed at which we are advancing, we should have at least twenty or thirty miles, but we don't seem to be close to that mountain."
Chen Daolin's expression was also ugly.
We had been walking for an afternoon and half an evening, for ten hours.
According to the footsteps, the twenty or thirty miles that One-Eye said are conservative estimates.
But the whole island is only how big According to his previous observations on the outer ships of the island, this island may not be thirty miles long from south to north, and this forest should never be large But if you have been walking for so long and have never been able to get close to that mountain, it must be strange.
Is this illusion really trying to trap us here?
Chen Daolin was also a little unsteady in his heart.

"You're a magician, you should figure out a way" One-eyed's expression was ugly: "The fresh water and food we carry are limited, if we keep being trapped here and can't get out, I'm afraid" Chen Daolin still didn't speak.
Of course, he knew that this was the time for his own magician to do something.
He did know several spells to crack illusions, and he wanted to try them out.
But the problem is that in this hellish place, there is some kind of power that suppresses magic, and there is no magic element here that can sense a forbidden place, and his own magician has become an ornament, and he can't use any magic, so what can he do Chen Daolin can't show the slightest flaw, so he can only make a calm and indifferent look.
After pondering for a moment, he thought for a moment that since it was an illusion and he wanted to trap his own people here, then someone must be secretly presiding over this illusion Is it really to trap yourself to death, or is there some other purpose?
In any case, it is not a way to continue like this, and you have to find a way to force someone hiding in the shadows to appear After thinking for a while, Chen Daolin took a deep breath and said a word to One-Eye.
"Let's set it on fire" "What do you say" "I said, set fire" The corners of Chen Daolin's eyes jumped, his eyes were very firm, and he sneered: "Someone wanted to trap us with this forest, so we set fire to this forest" One-eyed was a little frightened: "Wouldn't it be dangerous to really set fire, but we're all in the woods?"
Chen Daolin shook his head and no longer explained: "If you want to live, listen to me" It's just a fantasy magic, this forest is the carrier of the illusion, since you can't directly use magic to crack it, then use the most brutal and direct method One-eyed stood there, his face pale, hesitated for a moment, and finally spat at the mouth fiercely.
At this time, he could only choose to believe in this magician.
"Light the torch and set fire to burn these trees to Lao Tzu" At the sound of the order, the pirates were used to killing people and setting fires, so where was there any hesitation As for everyone in the woods, whether they will be involved in the forest if they set fire to the forest, then there is no need to think about it for the time being, anyway, the order was given by the wise boss and the magician, and besides, everyone has legs and feet, won't they still run?
Soon, several torches were lit, and several pirates ran to the left and right and lit a fire in the woods.
Several piles of flames were lit at the same time, and the raging flames soon unfolded, and in the night, these flames were particularly dazzling, and as the fire spread, the surrounding grass and trees gradually swept in.
Chen Daolin quickly led everyone to retreat far away, trying to distance himself from the fire.
"People in the dark should always make a move" Chen Daolin gambled in his heart, he didn't believe that the guy who secretly controlled the magic of the illusion would watch him burn this forest As the fire got bigger and bigger, everyone couldn't stand the smoke of everyone, and retreated into the distance again and again.
The fire began to spread among the trees, more and more trees and grasses were engulfed by the flames, and One-Eyed and the others looked anxious, although Chen Daolin was a little bottomless in his heart, but his face still made a calm and indifferent look.
His expression like this really gave One-Eye and the others some comfort.
"Darling."
Barossa suddenly gently tugged at Chen Daolin's sleeve.
"Hmm" "Did you find it?"
Barossa whispered, "This fire spreads very fast, and it burns very fast."
"Hmm," Chen Daolin nodded.
He has found out these details.
Although the pirates set the fire hard, the fire spread too violently.
You must know that these living trees and plants themselves have a certain humidity, and burning is not as simple as imagined.
However, the fire of this fire started extremely fast, as if it was not a normal plant, but dry firewood Just when the pirates were retreating more and more, Chen Daolin suddenly felt a move in his heart He clearly sensed a hint of magic fluctuations That's right, it's the fluctuation of mana There was a boom, and a flash of lightning suddenly flashed in the sky above him Then the wind blew violently, and before everyone could react, the bean-sized raindrops fell on their heads and faces There was a thunderclap and heavy rain poured down It's a heavy rain The pouring rain filled the sky and the earth, falling from the sky with a fierce force Almost instantly, the fire spreading in the woods was suppressed In the pouring rain, the flames gradually shrunk, extinguished, and soon were completely extinguished by the rain This sudden burst of rain made the faces of all the pirates look in awe If you set fire to the forest, God will immediately rain down to extinguish the fire, and whoever it is, you will mutter.
Only Chen Daolin's expression was cold, his eyes flashed, and he just squinted at the sky, the wind was not stopping, and the rain was not stopping This rain came suddenly, and this time, it seemed to be non-stop At this moment, I suddenly heard a pirate in the team exclaim: "Ah, look at the trees" Looking around, I saw that this forest, the surrounding flowers, flowers, trees, and grasses, the original lush green color, under the rain curtain splashing and washing, actually faded Yes, it's fading The green leaves, washed by the rain, soon faded away, and then faded more and more, and finally turned into a miserable white The yellow or bright red wildflowers in the grass, soaked in the rain, the bright color, like a whitewashed oil paint, gradually peeled off, little by little under the rain smudged by the rain to disperse the heavy rain between heaven and earth, as if with a magical magic, this verdant woods, all colors, washed away The heavy rain has not stopped, and to everyone's shock, the surrounding green forest has turned a miserable white The branches are white, the trunks are white, the leaves are white, the grass is white, and the flowers are white Except for the black soil under his feet, everything that could be seen around him turned into a miserable white world In the midst of the pirates' shouting, Chen Daolin had already stepped aside, slowly bent down, picked off a piece of miserable white "branch", gently pinched Nirvana in his hand, and then put it in his mouth to chew "phew" He spat out heavily, then dropped the object in his hand on the ground, a strange smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Made of paper" It's all made of paper The flowers, the grass, the trees, and the leaves are all cut out of paper This huge forest, this natural world, is all made of paper A chill rose in everyone's hearts It's a miserable white world "Your Excellency the Mage" Just when he was about to ask something to Chen Daolin, Chen Daolin suddenly waved his hand and shouted: "Silence" His expression changed suddenly, and he listened intently to the direction of the mountain peak in the distance in the next moment, and suddenly a long howl was heard A shrill whistling sound wafted in the wind, but it pierced everyone's ears fiercely This whistling sound is sonorous and powerful, but it is even more piercing and sharp, which makes people listen to it, as if the eardrums are faintly tingling, and more importantly, this long whistle, the sound is full of this heaven and earth, and in the heavy rain, there is a faint majesty that makes people feel shocked "What's the matter?"
shouted the pirates, frightened by the terrible howl, and all drew their weapons.
As the heavy rain revealed the true face of this miserable white forest, the outline of the mountain peaks in the distance had gradually become clear.
With this long roar, a black shadow suddenly floated out of the sky above the mountain peak The shadow was faint at first under the lightning, and then it became clearer and clearer What's even more terrifying is that with the incessant whistling, this little black shadow in the sky suddenly spread little by little, and a black dot soon became three, five, and ten finally became a black spot in the sky, and in this whistling, it seemed to be rushing towards here And what made Chen Daolin change color was that Barossa's face next to him suddenly changed, and that pretty face became as white as paper, in this whistling, the elf girl seemed to be extremely unbearable, screamed in pain, and almost irresistibly let go of the weapon in her hand, covered her ears with both hands, and then shook her body, soft to the point of being in Chen Daolin's arms Chen Daolin hurriedly hugged Barossa, and before he could speak, a trembling voice came from behind him.
"This, this whistling, it's a griffin or a griffon" As she spoke, Luo Deer's body shook, and she actually rolled her eyes, and fell directly on Chen Daolin's back.
Chen Daolin was helpless, and hugged the two girls one by one.
Rodelle's condition was slightly better, after all, she hadn't fainted yet, she just gritted her teeth and said in a trembling voice: "Darling, run, this is the griffin's roar, the griffin's roar has a natural lethality to the elves, you see Barossa's reaction, run" Griffons When Chen Daolin heard this name, he was immediately shocked in his heart The whistling was instantaneous Another flash of lightning swept through the sky, illuminating the black night sky Chen Daolin finally saw the appearance of the black shadow flying far away from the sky It was a group of monsters flying in the sky: long wings, covered with black feathers, claws like hooks, like eagles, but on the neck, there was a lion's head The lion-headed eagle Chen Daolin's face also changed immediately The griffin is actually a griffin To be continued:
